on second street

Last week as Aidan and I were rushing out to the car on our way to school I heard a cardinal chirping overhead and I grabbed a quick picture.

I know the cardinals have been around as I have had to refill my bird-feeders a few times, but I haven't really heard them all winter until last week. Maybe I wasn't listening, or maybe they are feeling hopeful as we gain more daylight.

Hearing the birds again makes me think that spring is coming. It can't be long now.........
