Spring? Maybe.....

I saw a Robin today – well, at least I think it was a Robin. It was in flight and it had a red breast. Could have been a Cardinal. It flew by so quickly, so I am not sure. At any rate, back to the Robin - a promise of SPRING, or so “they” say. I am ready for spring. I enjoy winter, to a point. I enjoy and absolutely love the ambience of a newly fallen snow. Sometimes there are no words to describe its beauty! A couple of weekends ago, I saw deer tracks in our yard. Leah and I actually saw two deer bounding through our yard. I have lived here for over 10 years and that was a first! What is it about deer that excites my heart? I don’t know if they were lost or confused or just passing through, but I enjoyed each moment of their flight – white tails held high! Their beauty mesmerized Leah and me. Last Sunday I saw rabbit tracks on our driveway. A lot of people have rabbit tracks in their yards and I get excited to see them in my driveway! See – A Kid at Heart!! It is fun to see what may be wandering around your house by just looking at the snow. However, I am ready for spring – waiting patiently.

We leave for Florida on Friday. For obvious reasons, I enjoy being outside but NOT in the sun. Gail and Leah are both sun worshippers. Not me! I love the shade and the cool of the morning and evening. That is why I am a fan of spring and fall, but not summer. We are looking forward to spending some time together as a family. Taking some time out of our busy schedules to just be. Maybe it will be just what we need to get us through to spring.

I will post when we get back. Until then - enjoy the snow, the sun, whatever comes your way.


Love you all!

Hello! I finally gave in and decided to join this wonderful world of "Blog". I've certainly enjoyed reading my siblings and daughter and son-in-law's posts and am excited to get started. I didn't want to be anonymous anymore when responding to my family! I don't write as creatively as they do, but I sure do have fun. Looking forward to hearing from you and keeping in touch. Have a great day!
