I had to have this birdie sweater for spring. It’s so cute and dainty.
There is this bird that migrates through Hong Kong about this time of year. Oh, I love this bird. It has a call that increases with intensity in both noise and volume. He (or maybe she–I do not know) starts his call, and then it keeps getting louder and fiercer, and it’s as if he is calling out to me. I know–I’m making it sound orgasmic or something, but this bird! I love it. Ironically, I don’t even know what this bird looks like nor do I know it’s name. I just know when this birdie comes back to town, the weather is about to change; Spring is on its way. At least this was the case yesterday with a bright blue sky and a temperate sun warming us up from the rain and gloom of the weekend. Mind you, today, as I’m writing this post, we are back to misty skies, but hey! The bird is back, he’s here, and I do love him so! With March 21st just yesterday and the birdie calling to me morning and night, Spring really is around the corner.
For you, what is your signal that Spring is on its way? Is it a bird, a special flower, a unique smell? What is it?
Update down below on the Bird!
One of my very kind readers, Jude, sent me a couple of emails this morning with some attempts at capturing the bird I described. While her videos attempts didn’t come close, it was this article that nailed it. Many people are irritated by this bird, but I adore him! He’s called an Asian Koel–or in other words a cuckoo bird. Here’s a sample of his call (mind you it varies in pitch). When I hear him, I feel like he’s calling just to me: Annie, get up, get UP, GET UP! Or, Annie, I love you, I love YOU, I LOVE YOU! Me and this birdie….we gotta thing!!
So darling Annie! I love the bird and the red pants on you. So cute! We have a bird that says Oh my God, Oh my God! It’s so funny! Such pretty embroidery
Have a wonderful weekend

Fun! What’s the name of that bird? I want to hear it!!
To think I almost got rid of these red pants. They used to be super long, but I hemmed them to a culotte length. They are very, very comfortable!
Thanks for stopping by Jess!
Love, Ann
Birds will let us know when spring is coming. Here in New England the goldfinches are turning yellow again (yellow like your wonderful market bag). The red-wing blackbirds have returned and their call is very distinct. Thank goodness spring weather will be here soon. I am so done with winter!
You look ready for spring and a trip to a farmer’s market. Happy spring!
