It's Spring!   Ah, the beauty of nature.  The calle lillies gently unfurl from tall green leaves into perfect peaks of firm white petals beneath my kitchen window.  I'm reminded of a summer wedding when they bunched together in a ribboned bouquet for a young bride.  Dan's irises, in a far corner of the backyard, burst forth in flamboyant hues of brilliant blues that were the pride and joy of his dad during a lifetime of tending to bulbs and gardens in southern California.  Not to be outdone by the blossoms, frequent flyers have returned to nest above the stereo speaker on the side patio eaves.  They protect new life with warmth and flutters until it scratches a path from its protective shell into a world of new beginnings.
