How nice it is at long last to sit in my house and have the windows open - the breeze wafting through ever so gently (well, okay, gale force winds that sometimes threaten to knock my plants over but hey, we'll take what we can get!) and the sun pouring its warmth into my cozy little living room - aah, the harbingers of spring. Along with the squawks of the blackbirds and starlings, i feel something waking up in me...
