Birds sing in the warming air
Day begins anew
Standing still at 9:51 AM on Thursday, May 8, 2025, in Spartanburg, South Carolina, I find myself enveloped in the gentle warmth of a mostly sunny morning. The temperature is a comfortable 68°F (20°C), with the sun casting soft shadows on the ground. The air is still, carrying the subtle scent of blooming flowers and fresh greenery.
Around me, the immediate surroundings are a blend of suburban tranquility and natural beauty. Residential homes with well-manicured lawns line the quiet streets, their facades reflecting the morning light. The occasional car passes by, its engine humming softly before the sound fades into the distance.
Birds are particularly active this morning, their melodies creating a harmonious backdrop. I can hear the cheerful chirping of sparrows and the occasional call of a cardinal, adding vibrant notes to the soundscape.
The sky is a pale blue with a few wispy clouds scattered across the horizon. While the forecast predicts a thunderstorm this afternoon, for now, the weather remains pleasant and inviting.
In this moment of stillness, I take a deep breath, appreciating the serene atmosphere and the simple joys of a spring morning in Spartanburg.
