Spring is Here 

“Yellow dust on my nose, yellow dust in my eyes and yellow dust in between my toes,” Chester notices in early spring.

“What is this stuff?” Chester wonders since this the first spring he has been outside more than any time in his life.

“Let me wipe the pollen from the daffodils and narcissus from your little eyes,” Rachell shares out loud as she moves to wipe Chester’s eyes with a Kleenex.

“Oh, so this is pollen,” he declares. Rachell removes the yellow dust accumulated on his nose and the tops of his paws too.

“There are so many things I’m learning about with all the new things I am experiencing,” Chester declares.

“I look forward to finding out what is in store for me as the seasons change, even though some may take a little more maintenance to keep me clean and healthy,” he notes.

In that moment, a tiny, winged creature stops for an instant in front of his nose before quickly flying off on the wind.

“What is that?” Chester questions as he uncrosses his eyes as the buzzing winged bird moves on.  

Rachell exclaims, “to see a hummingbird up close and personal is the chance of lifetime, Chester. What a blessing. SPRING IS HERE!”
