Today is a blustery day in the 100 acre woods
...er...
in the 100 acre suburb
(?)
The wind is blowing, people--and I love a windy day!
I have loved Southern breezes in the spring & fall,
the dry winds of Western evenings,
the humid whirls of Iberian gusts,
and now--the sweet swirls of dancing air
singing songs of a Minnesota spring
...my very first MN spring, that is.
I've got some Thankful thoughts
