I Really Thought it was SPRING

I woke up this morning to a cold snowy winter day. In the middle of March. WHAT? Saying I was displeased is an understatement. I am seriously ready for spring this year. Usually it kind of sneaks up on me without realizing it at all. But this year I seem to be longing and waiting.
Actually the more I think about the more I realize it has to do with my massive lifestyle change since I went to India and got sick last year. I need to have fresh, living food in my diet and in winter, produce is so expensive whether it is local or not so I honestly end up not eating it at all. Which by now, I am missing immensely. I bought some very dark, almost black kale, some spinach, and a hand full of green beans which I have been using sparingly that last couple days. I am hardcore craving green. Also, peaches.

Anyway, after the couple of inches of snow this morning it became very windy and slushy and then quickly changed to warm and sunny. All I have to say about that is that is is very hard to dress for a day like today.

I do keep seeing hope that spring is actually on it's way though. There are early daffodils opening up, the rhododendrons are budding and several cherry blossom trees are bursting into pink. I took a couple of branches from my Dads house today to remind me that although Spring is taking it's sweet time to show up, it RSVP'd attending.

But maybe it's just about things that happen and things I think about... (Also, that is my computer generated pirate name) My other blog, [hap]hazard, is my best friend and I. We enjoy adventuring.
