A  white sunrise surprise, deeply dark gray clouds rushing off towards the South and revealing blue above, tulip and iris spearing up through icy snow cover that buried the jonquils attempt at joy, a pair of ravens grace us with flights through the field and magical calls unlike any others, sun rising strong to melt away cold yet winds bring it back with a chill, red of cardinal and distinct green in the grass offer cheers of stubborn spring while peepers silently await a reprieve.
