Open the Window:

Open the window:

Yes,

the temperature hovers at freezing

but, misty and damp, the

snow melt

flavors the air

with the taste of spring.

And crows are not the only singers

today

wrens

chickadees

a downy woodpecker

and more distant calls

pepper the ears of

squirrels

wet with melting snow at

war with the juncos 

to gain a spot at the feeder.
