Spring!
I went outside and finally my delphiniums are up and quite a few of the other perennials. Still haven't noticed the Lily of the Valley though. I guess that means that the fiddleheads are a long way off. Bummer. The geese are back and I hear them every morning heading up the river. I've missed that sound. Winter was way too long. Never used to effect me...after all I choose to live in Maine! But this winter was different. Maybe it was all the family turmoil...maybe it was my Dad's heart surgery in September...I can't even remember last fall and that's my favorite season. Anyway, I'm glad that Spring is finally here. I'm anxious to get down on my knees and feel the good earth on my hands. I almost bought some Pansies today but was afraid I'd jinx something. Soon there will be too many bugs and it will be muggy and hot and I'll be uncomfortable. If only we could have Spring all year long...is there such a place? Spring brings a newness with it. Gives people a fresh outlook on life with all the trees budding and pretty smells in the air. Something about those Glade Plug Ins that just doesn't cut it...not the same as fresh linens dried in the sun. Like my Blog site name...It's time to start appreciateing the simple things in life again...
Thought for the day: For these I am grateful...My old red bicycle, Hula Hoops, Naptime in the Sun, Goldfinches finally becoming Gold again, And when I lose my grip on life knowing that God hasn't lost his grip on me. WELCOME SPRING!
