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.
