Missing the Sun

Each day, the light lasts a little longer. 
The ground has thawed and is trying to dry. Midgy has her tulips and her daffodils in an impatient line, waiting for the weather to be right so she can get them in the ground.
We want things to grow. We want colors again, and sunshine pouring in. We want to open the windows. 
I'm watching out for Robins. I've heard rumors of them, but I haven't seen anything grace our backyard yet, besides the occasional cagey squirrel. I'm waiting for the embers of their red breasts in the grass, bringing bits of the sun down to warm things up and chase away the winter.

When they come back, I will ask them for a bit of sun-fire. I will take it to his house, and plant it with some orange and red tulips in his front yard.  Maybe the sun will help his heart thaw. 
maybe then we can grow.

You want Robins. I got Robins out the ass here. Come back and you can take all you want.
