WInter Writings: Day 78

It's raining again today
Nature's cleaning crew hard at work
scrubbing away the last of the drab brown winter
and allowing a few spring sunbeams
to warm our old bones.
The cat and I fight over who will get
the best seat in the house
from which to watch the birds
busy gathering their nests
while shy daffodils peek out
on an almost spring day.
