Signs

Sigh – it’s been a month since my last post.

Since we all lost a very dear person in our family.

Since I have sat down to try and organize thoughts in my head and make sense of the season and travel and work and jumble and AHHHHHH!!!

My son moved out – I do not think I mentioned that. Yes – my son left home.

A millions thoughts on that situation has left our feeling somewhat empty. My son came to live with us full time over a year ago in circumstances that are deeply personal and will not talk about but needless to say – having him home – finally – after so many years – was an adjustment for all. We made it work though and to have his smiling face and dishes done and my glass of wine at the ready each night  – was a wonder.

Now he is gone onto his own little home with friends and doing his laundry and groceries – step ahead in life and seeing how happy he is – warms my heart.

I sure do miss him here though.

Back to my post – Signs.

Everyone is talking about signs of spring. Rudy the Robin is back!!! Far too early for February for sure but maybe Rudy knows something I don’t.

I laughed at a friend today talking about how she saw a flock of geese flying over head – HAHAHAHA!!! NO WAY!!

Much to my surprise – we had a large flock fly over our house.

Hmmmm – Signs.

It is only February – could Mother Nature be early in her Springyness this year???

Hoping for the best.

Signs of life with broody hens and shedding horses.

Signs of life with melting snow and mud and muck.

Signs of life with sunshine on my face and longer days and illumination with the morning commute.

While driving home today – I saw the most glorious display of sun shining through the clouds and no camera could do this justice for sure.

I often go outside and stand in the sun. It is just a bit warmer than yesterday and still warmer tomorrow I hope.

I’m ready for mud and muck and will complain often I’m sure.

I’m ready for daylight until well past 6pm.

I’m ready for those stupid mosquito’s and heat.

I’m ready to sit on my porch and drinking a cocktail (or two) 🙂

Hey – Mother Nature- cut us some slack – please – give us an early spring if you would not mine – I think we could all use a break.

Thanks!
