Changes, Meadowlark, An Easier Drive

1. A steady spring rain pattered on the window all night long. By mid-morning the sun broke through, refracting bright light from every glittering surface.

 2. I saw a bird on the lawn that I have never seen before. Ungainly, large feet and long beak, it's breast was daffodil yellow with a perfect black bib. After consulting the bird book, I learned that it was an Eastern Meadowlark. It says they are fairly common so I don't know why I've never seen one before.



3. It's still daylight when I drive to my 7:00pm meeting. Oh, little pleasures!

  1. All lovely things - rain, the bird and DST. I've never seen a bird like that either. He made a special visit to you.
