We've been in South Carolina for the past two months and it was a cooler than usual time at our beach retreat. The wind cut right through our winter jackets! It even snowed! YES!!
The handyman I live with is very busy picking up sticks and stones on the wet grasses. He tracks mud in on the carpet-covered concrete floors. (Mud has to dry before it can be successfully vacuumed!
The ducks and geese are back on the lake. I really wish so many would not return - noisy and dirty fowl they are!
Robins try to build nests on the porch rafters and in the carport. We block the openings so they will nest in the trees. Birds belong in trees! The trunks are filling up fast wherever openings exist. Bits and pieces of nesting materials are evident. The branches too, are quickly becoming spring homes.
We have seen two beavers, a muskrat and several deer in only 3 days. Nature is ruling still!
Dirt roads are becoming dust producers again. Dust seeps into the multitudes of cracks in this old log cabin. There's no stopping it.
B U T! The daffodils are poking their noses up from the rock garden and flowerbeds. The crocus have appeared and opened their petals to the fresh air. The seedum are forming their petaled leaves.
Life is good. The air is fresh and the sun is warm. The best is yet to come. I really must get outdoors and uncover the porch furniture and sweep and rake. I really MUST!
Yay! I am so excited you started a blog! Loved your descriptions of spring. I really miss that beautiful transition, and your words bring back sweet memories. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI just used the KISS method to describe it here today!
ReplyDeleteI'm energized now to do more with this! Thanks for putting me on to the idea.
