I heard a Robin this morning as I was waking. I haven’t seen one yet, but maybe today. Spring really is in the air, full of promise. It is a pregnant time for me too. Lots of possiblitiy, some of it risky, I suppose, and all of it up to me. And my daughter is due to deliver her first baby any day now.

Today, I just feel like hiding….but won’t. It makes me think of a poem I used to like. Since I’ve been exploring verse lately, I’ll post it.

I Meant To Do My Work Today
By Richard LeGallienne

I meant to do my work today,
But a brown bird sang in the apple tree,
And a butterfly flitted across the field,
And all the leaves were calling me.
And the wind went sighing over the land,
Tossing the grasses to and fro,
And a rainbow held out its shining hand,
So what could I do but laugh and go?
