Painting Emerging Spring

Yes there are subtle signs.
In the South 
maybe not so subtle.
Warmer most days.
No real dreary skies.
No real
winter symptoms at all.

And the birds are coming back
or maybe there are just inching their way
from southern destinations
and making their way
further in groups.

I do not relish spring here.
It is way too quick
and then settles into the
heat of summer
which is difficult to bear.

So we see the signs and we
do not rejoice.
But instead
we paint
and largely ignore it.
Painting is perfect and 
real
and never gets too hot
or too sultry.
