At least that is what it feels like out here in the wide openness. Yesterday we took a 3 mile hike out in the prairie before coming to a pond. It was beautiful being out there. It was s
o quiet except for the wind and a dog name Odie who joined us. We had fun with him as he rooted out the pheasants, sometimes it was a little unnerving to all of a sudden have a bird come flying out from nowhere. All I could think about were the women who came out to this land in a wagon and what they saw, miles upon miles of tall prairie grass that you could get lost in. We got to the pond and there were ducks and geese. When the weather gets warmer and things start to turn green, I am imaging the birds will really be out. I am looking forward to that walk.
Yesterday was a picture perfect day, darn near 60 degrees. We worked outside cleaning up the yard and pondering what to plan outside. We have started corn and beans and peas along with some beets and broccoli and spinach. I am also planning on planting lots of flowers. I want to leave the place with lots of color for the next intern, and I figure it is our parting gift to the church for their generosity of allowing us to stay in such a neat house. I covet my mornings
watching the different birds. 
Right now we have finches of all kinds, grackles, blue jays, robins, and even a squirrel. As the weather warms, more are yet to come, it is still early in the year. The trees are only now starting to come alive, not all of them, just a few. Sometime in May I expect it to all explode in color. Blogged by Anna
