Spring Awakening

Sorry to those of you expecting a detailed synopsis of the uber-sexy new rock opera.

All I meant to say is that yesterday I took a stroll through the woods with some friends and saw my first American robin of spring 2009. I almost cried with delight, particularly considering the last few days here in Michigan have been a glorious 55+ degrees out. Tomorrow is supposed to get up to 68 degrees!

I also (accidentally) hooted out a barred owl at the park last night. I had no expectations that one would be there, but a few minutes after I jokingly did the "Who-cooks-for-you?" hoot, I heard a real owl hooting anxiously back at me. It was great.

If this weather sticks around and the birds come out in full force, spring will have truly awakened me.
