The temps had been slowly going up. Nothing drastic, nothing weird – just the normal change towards a very wonderful season. Even the evenings are very agreeable – not too warm but not very cold anymore. How else can you describe it? My spring is here!

Hubbie’s house sits on a lot with a backyard rich with full-grown trees and flowers. The dining room is adjacent to the deck and so during the days we would sit and just watch the birds flying around. We have a mommy and daddy blue jay and a mommy and daddy oriole that we always see hopping from one tree to the other. In the early mornings, if our windows are open, you can actually hear the baby birds chirping. We also hear a pecking sound which we know comes from a woodpecker, altho we haven’t seen it anywhere – yet. On my first spring here in Maryland, we even saw two vultures taking a rest on the neighbor’s roof at the back. Honestly, seeing those buzzards really gave me the creeps, they’re not my favorite creatures in the world.

And hubbie’s daffodils are all out! Really, really, REALLY beautiful! Hubbie planted them all around the house and it’s very refreshing to see them. True as a lot of people say, when you see the daffodils in bloom, you would have a feeling of a promise of a new life – no matter how cold and severe a winter would be.

Hubbie and I have been taking pictures left and right. Thanks to the telephoto lens my dad gave me, we were able to take pictures of the birds even from afar! I can’t take being near birds, (no thanks to my bird-o-phobia, hahaha) so my gift from my dad was sooo cool to use.

So anyways, here are some pictures I took. I’ll be taking some more in the coming days. I just have to rest a bit today tho ’cause my whole left arm hurts so bad because of a bad fall on the stair last night. But I hope it’s just a slightly bad fall and nothing really serious.
