Forget

Soon as the temperature starts to change, it erases all thoughts of winter. Instantly you pour yourself into all the tasks that have been on hold for so long! Raking, clearing out spaces, finding buried treasures lost to the snow, sometimes Christmas things still have to be put away. My favourite is planning all the summer spaces. What to plant, how to arrange the outdoor spaces, what new things to purchase to make calm, cute spaces! Deciding what needs an updo or redo!

The geese have returned, the deer are in the fields and ultimately in the roads in front of us, wearing spring fashions that blend in with their surroundings! My co worker had to stop for a duck. My favourite story was when my other co worker was late last spring because a flock of wild turkeys decided to cross the road, and to this day her impersonation of the turkeys is by far the funniest thing I have ever seen! I may need a video to store for low days! I think it was spring, if not, I am gonna say it was. I have bought seeds already, and surveyed the pool deck, there is a huge iceberg still in the pool! My parka is still out, and the clothes are not rotated yet, but there is time.

I hear a fabulous weekend is in store for us and we are so ready for that. Gonna squeeze as much out of it as possible! I think I have mentioned that the good weather sends me outdoors and I am not too keen on being inside when it is arrives. I also realize it is way too early to believe that it is here to stay, but I will take Mother Nature’s peace offering. She owes us after the March tease. Spring also brings the return of the appointments I put on hold over winter. Most excited for new glasses. There is a meteor shower in the wee hours of the morning April 23rd, glad I don’t need glasses for far away! The summer carrot is at least dangling and I am up for the chase!
