Good Morning Everyone… I was just thinking about spring again this morning. It’s been on my mind a lot of late, perhaps because each day we get a little closer to it, with some warmer weather and the longer days, I feel it is near.
I haven’t seen any pussy willows yet, but soon, I think. Soon. I’m wishing you all a wonderful day, filled with hope and grace, joy and laughter. Be kind to one another… 💙

Good Morning Everyone… It’s a blustery day here in coastal Massachusetts. Like elsewhere in the country finding a slot to get vaccinated for COVID is like winning the Lotto. I waiver each day, since I found out that I was eligible, between looking on the Mass.Gov website for an open slot, to resigning myself to not waste my time right now, knowing that there aren’t enough vaccinations available yet here in Massachusetts, much like other states.
I’d rather spend my time looking at annual seeds online, dreaming of all the flowers I wish I had the room to plant. For now, for today, I will think about the grape hyacinth I planted and hope that my bulbs do well in their first year. The pandemic boredom feels heavy of late. I am bored with social media, bored with streaming movies and series, bored with cooking, bored of boredom. What to do? Start a new hobby? No I have too many already. So today, I’ll just think of spring, the gardening to come, the walks on the beach, and in the woods and hope that hope will, because in the end, I believe that it does. Hope wins.

Good Morning Everyone… I was listening earlier this morning to a cardinal singing in the back yard. There is nothing like the sound of bird song in the morning. The cardinals must be grateful for this sunny morning, as I am. They also tell me that spring will come, and as the snow melts, and the days grow warmer, soon we will see buds, then blossoms, blooming before our eyes.
Last fall I dug a new pandemic garden bed, so I could plant tulips, daffodils and crocus outside my kitchen windows. My elbow has not forgiven me yet for all that digging. As we all wait for our second pandemic spring to arrive, I am thinking today of the gentle awakening of spring and the gratitude that encompasses me when it arrives. Today, I am grateful for the sun and bird song.

Good Morning Everyone… I am welcoming the blue skies and warmer temperatures this morning. I look forward to the sunny spring days, when I can get out in my yard and start gardening. I know I have friends who are thinking the same thing. It’s been along pandemic winter. I wish you all a blessed day, filled with grace, laughter and love. Be kind to one another. Days are not easy for so many. Do what you can to make a difference… 💚

A favorite view to dream of along the banks of the lower Merrimack River… Peace. 💙
Good Morning Everyone… The pandemic has truly been an exercise in waiting patiently. Some days the patience is easy than others. If you are like me, you are patiently waiting for warmer weather as well. Waiting for spring to come. Waiting for the first flowers to bloom. Waiting for the rhododendron and the azalea to bloom. Waiting to stand in the sun in short sleeved shirt and feel the freedom of a warm breeze.
I’ve spent a lot of time waiting for spring this winter. Waiting patiently spring to sprout. That waiting gives me hope… May you all have hope this day. 💙
