I’m one of those people who loves snow. As a child I would
always curl up in a window seat and watch it fall, breathing in the wonder of
its beauty.
So I was sorely disappointed when we had fifty-degree
weather at Christmas. But now, when the spring equinox is just a few days
away—I’m not too happy to see winter storm Stella dump with piles of sleet and
snow in my neck of the woods.
After months of damp and gray days, I’m ready for spring! I
hate to see snow covering the early buds that are just beginning to show.
Spring is such a hopeful time when everything seems fresh and new beginnings
are possible. But who am I to tell Mother Nature what to do, especially when
humans have messed with her so much.
My solution? I go to Trader Joe’s and buy daffodils and
hyacinths and tulips and pussy willows and fill my house with their color and
fragrant promises.
Are you ready for spring?

Alicia,
ReplyDeleteThat is a great tip! I'm off to Trader Joe's this weekend. :)
I am ready for Spring as well. We've had 80 degree days for weeks. All the wildflowers and bluebonnets begin to bloom and then it dropped to fifty and rainy. But here in Texas, we don't usually have a lot of Spring weather before it turns hot. Thanks for sharing, Alicia.
ReplyDeleteWhile other parts of the country are covered in snow, we are having hot weather already. I like hot, but I also like normal temps that are in the 70s this time of year instead of the 90s.
