Bluebirds

This winter has been full of dark days and trials. The lingering snow and the death of two of my friends, one of which I was very close to, has caused the dark days to be darker. I was so upset when I looked out the window to see it snowing again, I was so frustrated. Then, suddenly, we noticed a flock of desert bluebirds flying around. A couple landed on the wall just outside the window, and another in a squaw bush behind the wall. The beauty of the blue birds against the white snow brought joy to my heart with the sign of Spring. The hope of a long awaited Spring is finally upon us.
