spring has sprung
This morning's run was full of wonder for the season we call spring. Trees and flowers are in full bloom, there is the hint of rain in the air, birds are singing away and I just felt a real sense of pleasure from being outdoors. The lilacs are bright and full of fragrance. The azaleas are vibrant and the irises are just starting to pop. It was so gorgeous. I DID stop to smell flowers...white and purple lilacs wherever I go. They remind me of my mom and growing up outside of Spokane, the Lilac city. When I was little I loved going to the Lilac parade...they had a gorgeous nighttime festival that was full of the most spectacular lighted floats.
I also saw one of the best things, in my opinion, about spring--babies. I shooed a little fluffy grey cat away from our garbage and watched as she slid around the fence next door to join her calico friend. Together they were protecting at least two little black kittens. I came over to the fence and found one on a low stump, staring at me, his tiny navy blue eyes as big as he could make them. He was shaking, he was so afraid. Poor kitty. Probably not really been near a human at all. His mother seemed unconcerned with me for the most part, she was watchful but seemed to realize I had no intention of hurting her little ones. Finally he jumped off the stump and scampered away. I watched them for a little bit. So so so cute. I wish I had a picture of that little baby on the stump to send to cuteoverload...
