Stuck on Spring

Thinking Spring


Despite the late-March snowstorm that's raging outside my window, I'm thinking beyond the cold and gray skies to more delightful weather to come.  In the past few weeks robins are back on our roof and house finches are noisily chasing after one another in their mating rituals; therefore, I know that Spring is just around the corner....we just have to turn the corner.  With temperatures forecast to be in the 40's for most of the coming week, we'll quickly say farewell to the eight inches of new white stuff and welcome in all of the blooming beauties that accompany the arrival of Spring.

It is the mind skating circles around itself as it moves forward."

Winter Lingers


Winter, a lingering season, is a time to gather golden moments,
embark upon a sentimental journey, and enjoy every idle hour."
