My, How the Birds Do Sing! (and the wind does blow...)
First real day of spring weather...nearly
summer (for Rochester) at 75 degrees and climbing.
Just a quick jot about my daily walk, taken early
today because I thought I was supposed to meet a couple of friends down at the
Starry Nites
Cafe at 11, but then (after calling and leaving a message of concern,
then later walking on down to where one of them works; she was nowhere to be
found) remembered that the meeting had been changed to 2 p.m.
The birds are out, broadcasting their delight with spring's arrival with mighty songs of cheer. It was hot ... ok lots of people wouldn't think that 75 is hot, but after walking around in 40 degree drizzly weather just two days ago, I find 75 to be positively sweltering!
The weather forecast says winds are gusting up to 30 mph, but I could swear one gust nearly lifted me off my feet!
We've had a few warm days before this, but this time is different, because of all the flowers, and the green buds on the trees. One tv station is saying it will get up to 80 today, and I believe it.
Spring comes to Rochester at last...

About The Author
My name is Georgia NeSmith. "Random Acts of Love" is my weblog, but I have numerous other websites you can link to through this blog. "Random Acts of Love" began in February, 2004, and I have been posting to it fairly steadily ever since, although there are a few months when illness and other issues have kept me away. I write about nearly everything under the sun. I also do a lot of photography and digital art and I teach journalism online. Recently I've also started posting videos to YouTube.
When I am not doing that, I am trouble-shooting Mac computer issues. Oh, yeah. I also do a lot of community activism. (Can anyone say ADD? I call it AEG -- "attention excess gift.")
I hope you enjoy reading what you find here, and that you will respond to the things you like (and argue with me over things you don't!). You can e-mail me directly from the "Feedback" link that is included with every post.
This weblog is provided free of charge. However, if you like what you read here and want to ensure that it stays online, you can make a donation through PayPal below.

The impossible will take a little while."

That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all..."
