Wild Columbine beckoned with red and yellow petals; Fringed Polygala, with purple-pink buds.
Bigtooth Aspen saplings invited me to touch their soft young leaves.
Winter Wren, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Ovenbird, Red-eyed Vireo, Common Yellowthroat and Gray Catbird called to me, asking me to stop and listen to their songs.
Wild and Woodland Strawberry flowers whispered.
The brook, wide and full, roared.
My heart spoke to me: My human friends will understand why I’m late.
