A light dust of snow was falling - the kind you know isn’t going to stay. I could hear the usual chatter of Blue Jays “jaying”, Cardinals “twilling” and Chickadees “chick a dee dee dee deeing.” But something about it all seemed out of place. A lonely crow “cawed” in the distance. The pungent, earthy smell of spring hasn’t quite burst through the crusty frozen cover of winter – so what was it? There wasn’t one thing that I could pin point, but there was something definitely different about this morning.
Suddenly there it was. There, flitting from naked branch to naked branch was the first Robin of spring. It was like the whole natural community knew he had arrived during the night and though he was quiet the rest of the world was busy spreading the rumor, “He and spring have arrived.”
Riders - start pulling those dust covers off. If you’re like me call your favorite motorcycle mechanic and set a date to pick up your oiled, greased, adjusted and fine-tuned machine. If you’re a ‘do it your selfer’ you probably already know what you need to do…but here are a few links for spring tune up tips and have fun!
