I love Spring...The return of sun. Days growing longer. Bright yellow sage flowers and the brilliant orange of Ocotillo blooms emerging. The chatter of birds growing louder. Doves flirting with each other upon brick walls; and the quail preparing their low-bush spring hide-outs awaiting new family members. The turkey vultures are back, the hawks are pairing up, and the lizards have crawled out of their holes. There is enough warmth to stir the movement of cold-blooded creatures and coax Spring out of her winter slumber.
