snowbirds
honk honk, friends in the sky
– welcome home
Notes: late winter/early spring is a spectacular time of year, whether for maple syrup or the return of spring migrants. I love walking outside and hearing the distant sound of geese, high above and far away. It gets louder louder louder and then the distinctive V-pattern appears, and the chorus of honks is right overhead. I do consider that these ‘snowbirds’ (i.e., winter in the south, return north in the spring) have a true home in the north. And I welcome them home with open arms.
