First Day of Spring

Sunday March 20, 2011 First day of spring.

God saw to it that our day was a beautiful one.

Started out with rain showers all night.

Missed the big super moon. Thankfully many

shared pictures of it, so I count myself lucky

to have seen it from all around the States,

and didn't have to pay air fare, or leave the

comfort of home.

Sunday, I brought the rest of the wood in

from the stack on the back porch, as now

I will use the fireplace for taking the chill

off the house as spring arrives and night time

temps stay warmer. 63* as I type now. 4AM.

Afterwards, I cleaned off the porch, and

Melanie, Dave and Kiley had walked over

with the dogs, Kiley got to ride in her little

red wagon all the way. Kids said she loved it.

So with porch cleaned off, I had them bring out

the yard chairs and table, set them up on the

porch, and we sat and visited outside in the

afternoon breeze and sunshine.

Since evening meals are never set in stone

at this house, never know how many will

be here to eat, I made homemade Pizza for

all. Using Naan Bread, everyone had their

own toppings on their own pizza.

So the day was great, and tomorrow I

plan to work around in the flower beds

again, puttering around til I can start heading

to the garden daily and play in the dirt.

I miss my conversations with the in laws as

I garden. I feel them with me all the while

I am up there. And no day of working up

on the farm goes by without thanking them

for our little acres. Most memories come from

the love and laughter we shared over the years,

while they were alive. Then their are those

questions I have for them, and I really do

hear answers and feel the peace.

Spring has sprung and I am so happy.
