A Late Christmas Present

Outside my kitchen window in central Ohio.   Three bluebirds perched on the telephone wire.
Life is good.  This picture from earlier in the year.

I Heard a Bird Sing

I heard a bird sing

In the dark of December.

A magical thing

And sweet to remember.

"We are nearer to Spring 

Than we were in September,” 

I heard a bird sing 

In the dark of December.
