winter departs
old friend missing
silent spring
I am very sad at this moment Spring is arriving and there is something missing. I could not place it until just a few minutes ago. Every year for the past 3+ years we have had a Robin that lived in our area.
Each spring when he returned he announced his arrival. The robin would start singing about 3am everyday and not stop until late in the day. Sadly this year it is silent and it is deafening. I hope that a new robin assumes his territory soon.
