Well, I saw snowflakes and subfreezing temps today, but....
IT IS SPRING!!!!!!! I know this because I saw two robins in my yard when I came home tonight. So for poetry friday tomorrow I offer an original young children's poem:
ROBINS
by James Danielson
Mother robin
On the nest.

Poetry Friday is hosted this week by Tricia at The Miss Rumphius Effect. THANKS!!!

Cute poem...Highlights High Five possibility??

Cute! I haven't seen any robins yet...still looking anxiously!
Jenn, Lisa and Kelly: Thanks for stopping by!!
