Spring on the Mind
It is the time of year that we really start to crave Spring. It seems to happen overnight, with the movement of the breeze, the sparkle of the sunshine, the melting snow.
One moment of merely enjoying a break from winter, and the next Spring on the mind.
Every hint of Spring feels like another messenger of its near arrival. The robins have returned and that is encouraging. The days are noticeably longer as well.
The past few days have been pretty nice, in upper 30's and low 40's. Today was warmer, it got up to 47°F and was partially sunny.
Walking around her yard with my sister, the snow crunching beneath our feet, we could already see many signs of Spring.. Even though snow was still all aroind us, the air felt Spring-like.
It might take a while for all the snow to melt away as it had piled up, with layers of rain that formed ice mixed in. It may look like it will be a while before it melts, but it could go down pretty fast if the weather cooperates.
God only knows what the future holds. We can only speculate on it, weather included. I have fun watching the changes each season brings.
I also enjoy making the most of every season, and observing as it comes in and goes away.
I enjoy watching the blending of one into another and the letting go of the season as it passes.
Right now that is Winter to Spring. Spring has an air of anticipation and hope in it as it approaches, the whisper of warmer days ahead. That is something wonderful to be a part of.
Stay strong! Enjoy the shifting of the seasons.
