Listen for sandhill cranes.
Count the robins.
Pick dandelion greens
for Grandma’s spring tonic.
Praise the peepers.
Count the robins.
Open the garden gate.
Till the soil.
Search for asparagus.
Count the robins.
Smile at the first morel.
Catch bluegills with a cane pole.
Count the robins.
Put lounge chairs on deck.
Sit down in the sun.
Roll up pant legs.
Lean all the way back.
Count the robins.

I like the leaning back on chair, sit in the sun and count the robins!

Being sheltered at home all the time, more of us now have the time to do all these tasks, all of them worthy endeavors. Nice!
