Hello Spring

IMG_2437

Congratulations Winter Survivors!

According to the calendar, spring has sprung. Now if only we could get Mother Nature to understand that.

I don’t have to tell you that it’s been a tough winter. Most, at least in the Midwest, experienced the toughest season in decades. We had way too many bitter cold days and way too much snow. But we got through it. We’re still here, ready for warmer temps and sunny days. Pat yourself on the back for your outstanding ability to endure, persevere, and move on.

Like the first crocus that pops its head up from the cold, hard ground, we emerge into the new season bright with hope and optimism. Embrace the moment. Before long, we will be complaining about the heat.

    Hi Mary. This morning I had to scrape the ice off my car before I could go to work. This afternoon when I was walking to the school bus stop to meet my daughter, the snow was blowing. I had to wear my long down coat and my clunky snow boots. This year, March came in like a lion and is going out like a lion.

    This was a good one to read today Mary as spring arrived here barely in time to not be called summer. A very late arrival, even for us. Cheers. Allan

        The mosquitoes will be here soon after our big rain, so a perfect summer will included our screened back deck.
