Today is the first day of Spring and it actually rained last night!  We’ve had so little rain this year that I almost forgot what it looked and smelled like.  It was wet outside when I came out of my painting class and was wet again this morning as I walked the dog.  It was so nice.  I think I need to do my rain dance.  We need more…

 Update 3/22/07:  It’s definitely Spring.  I walked the dog this morning and noticed how noisy the birds are in the neighborhood.  Then during our usual lap around the park, I saw two ducks wandering around.  I have no idea where they came from.  Then on the way home, I counted probably 6 bunnies just hanging out eating the grass.  I thought to myself, “any minute now I should see Bambi just around the corner.”  Since I work with kids, it’s normal to be coloring pictures of ducks and bunnies around this time of year but this is ridiculous.
