LOVE this ring!
No particular reason, just happened upon it while searching for something else online, and I wanted to sort of bookmark it, so here it is:

Signs of Spring
Apparently, Osprey sightings are among the first signs of spring in the Carolina Lowcountry.
One of the local energy companies even has a live Osprey webcam.
Here are some other signs of spring that made me giggle:
Already, we've had the first annual spotting of a painted bunting. That's another "sign of spring" in the Lowcountry. In our brains, we all know the real signs of spring haven't arrived yet.
- Our cars, yards and children are not yet covered with a yellow film of pine pollen.
- Spartina grass is still solid brown.
- Songbirds aren't yet flitting and flirting.
- Carolina jasmine vines aren't in bloom.
- Daffodil fields aren't yet a waving sea of yellow.
- Herons and egrets haven't slipped into their breeding plumage.
- Azaleas haven't even been teased into a premature bloom, much less set our yards ablaze.
- And the thermometer hasn't yet hit 100.

A word from Hafiz
All the Hemispheres (via)
Leave the familiar for a while.
Let your senses and bodies stretch out
Like a welcomed season
Onto the meadow and shores and hills.
Open up to the Roof.
Make a new watermark on your excitement
And love.
Like a blooming night flower,
Bestow your vital fragrance of happiness
And giving
Upon our intimate assembly.
Change rooms in your mind for a day.
All the hemispheres in existence
Lie beside an equator
In your heart.
Greet Yourself
In your thousand other forms
As you mount the hidden tide and travel
Back home.
All the hemispheres in heaven
Are sitting around a fire
Chatting
While stitching themselves together
Into the Great Circle inside of
You.

Anticipation - Part II
I fly home to Indiana on March 24th, and I land @ DTW around 3pm. Bonnie's picking me up at the airport and driving me to Auburn, IN.
I'll spend a few days with my mom, sister & brother-in-law, and my nephew, Taylor (TJ--who will turn 3 on March 26th) as well as my new niece, Isabella Dawn (a.k.a. Bella or Ella)--who better have made her appearance by that point. Then, on March 29th, Bonnie & I will drive a moving truck packed with all her stuff--and towing her car--back down here to SC. :o)
