I saw a bee yesterday for the first time since the fall. Spring is whispering! There is still a lot of snow on the ground but spring is in the air. We can all feel it–even the goats. Soon tiny buds and shoots will appear, then explode. This is the time of year when I really miss the south. Spring in the south is spectacular! Azaleas, Dogwood trees, Magnolias, Eastern Redbuds, Jonquils/Daffodils. But here, I have the advantage of feeling spring while snow-shoeing through the woods wearing only a sweatshirt. Yesterday, I sat out on the porch in the warm sun with my little family and dear friends up the road in upstate NY, and arrived home in time to see folks cross-country skiing across the frozen lake to their ice-fishing hole. Soon the lake will thaw and we’ll be able to kayak again. I love all the seasons, but I especially love the fall and winter in the north, and the spring and summer in the south.
How is this time of year for you?
