Of all the thoughts and interpretations of spring, nothing is more true than this: spring is the season that brings new life. Grey, desolate trees begin to sprout new buds. Those buds then open up, revealing soft billowy blossoms of pure color. After the blossoms fade, the world becomes a vision of green. The grass becomes green in patches, as if artists in the heavens are launching paint balloons in random fashion. The days become warmer, the skies bluer, the clouds whiter and larger, and the days longer. 
And then you can see the other kind of new life: animal life. Just the other day, I found a puppy by the road with no owner or tags, just the cutest, friendliest, most precocios little ball of fur there ever was. My friend Callie and her brothers found a little kitten. My own dog, the scourge of Buddy's nest, found a baby rabbit (although the baby rabbit served as repast and not as a companion). The thrushes in our gardenia shrub hatched a bunch of little thrushes. And the chickens that were setting have now hatched eight beautiful chicks, pictured here. Aren't they cute! I went out their this morning and took some pictures and videos of them, and they truly are so very cute! I know that word gets used over-much, but I can't think of a more fitting term; they really are quite cute. They are so fluffy and make so much noise. It is fun just to watch them do exactly as their mothers do and then wonder if nature or nurture is responsible for their actions.
In other news, the DaVinci Code came out yesterday, and I will (if everything goes according to plan) be seeing it tomorrow at the matinee. Has anyone seen it yet? If so, I'd like to know what you thought of it. The reviews have been terrible, and I really am quite put out. I hope the reviewers all woke up on the wrong side of the bed or ran out of coffee or something else that would put them in a foul temper to make them want to give the DaVinci code a bad review. Anyhow, I plan on posting my thoughts on the movie as soon as I see it. 'Til then, adieu.
