We have had an interesting weekend with the weather. I spent yesterday afternoon enjoying sunshine and a high of 50 degrees, as my husband and I finished cleaning up leaves in the yard. The warmth of the sun felt good. It is hard to believe that 24 hours later we have snow on the ground and the temperature is going to drop down around zero again. We are expected to get more snow this evening. So much for seeing the grass. Please winter go away.
I am so grateful for our road crews that work long hours to keep our main roads clear. We were able to get out and walk in the mall today. Everyone you talk to has cabin fever. It has been a long winter. I am amazed at all the sunshine we have had in between snow storms. Last week was very cold and we had strong winds on Thursday, but the sun did shine everyday. I have been trying to get out some each day, but the cold air stings my face and leaves me feeling cold to the bone. I am so looking forward to planting a garden and flowers. Please warm spring air descend up us.
My husband and I spent today talking about how we can't wait to ride our bicycles and have fun outside. I have started planning how I want my flower beds to look. Maybe dreaming about the warm weather will bring it soon. I don't think anyone will complain about a hot summer after this winter. I will pray that we will see the grass again soon and it will be beautiful green.
For now Laney and I will stay home wrapped up in a blanket until the next big thaw, and dream of wearing flip flops and sipping lemonade. And, if you have to go out we will pray you don't hit a pothole in the road or get swallowed by a sink hole. Slow down and drive safe, so you can enjoy spring when it decides to come to town.
Life is beautiful !!
