A glimpse of sunshine feels so good,
A rarity today,
The breeze is buffeting the clouds,
And begs them, “Go away.”

The wind is messing up my hair,
Can’t get it to look good,
It’s threatening to blow me down,
If I don’t grasp this wood.

But look! The sun is coming up,
It’s bringing warmth and cheer,
And though it’s looking hopeful now,
It won’t last long I fear.

So I’ll just keep on hanging on,
And waiting for a break,
It has to warm up soon I hope,
Just how long can it take?

Writing, travel, photography, nature, more writing....

Hang on little birdie. It’s windy here today, too. Clear sky. Bright sun. Temperature mild. Only light jacket required.

Ah Spring. Finally some relief here. Three days of sun and +10…likely just before the next snowfall. Spring arrives on its own terms. We and the birds just have to hang on. Happy Monday Anneli. Allan

It was wild this morning, but the photo is a bit weird and stripy because I took it through the window.
