Spring is almost here!

I don't know about any of you, but I am so ready for spring!  This winter really hasn't been a long one but sure feels like it.  It has been so gray and dreary lately!  I will be the first to admit the winter is one of my favorite seasons.  Not because of the cold and snow but because there are no BEES!  I am allergic and they scare me to death.  I have been doing some reading (Yes, I read books) and I have to give some  big kudos to you authors out there.  The way they take the reader right into the book is amazing and much better than television.  This image above is an example of...

what was put in my mind while reading a story about the new beginning or springtime.  We live in a very small town, so small it is called a Village.  Nothing goes on here and in the winter it is like a ghost town.  I really miss the smells and sounds of spring and summer as in winter it is very quite.  No birds to listen to, no leaves moving in the wind.  It is the little things we all miss and take for granted.  There are a lot of people that become really depressed in the winter season and I can see why!  March is now upon us and the transition from old to new is starting to begin.

I will be able to take walks with my daughter and bike rides to the park and perhaps a trip to the zoo a few times.  My wife Kris will be out planting her flowers and best of all laying out in the sun!  We just have to hang in there just a bit more and before you know it there will be tiny buds on the trees and the grass will be coming back to life once again.  So if you are down and miss the nice spring breeze and smell of flowers, just close your eyes and imagine it as it never left your mind to begin with.

Until next post....
