Rain ruined my idea…
I was so determined to show you the beautiful pink blooms that finally showed up. They were only on the trees for a day before the rain. Now, they look like this:
This is part of what was on the trees yesterday…
Why the pink blooms are more delicate than the white, I have no idea.
Road Trip anyone?
I am ready for a road trip. The winter season here really gets me down. I’m generally ok through December; but once January is here, I am so over it. It’s not the pretty picture postcard white winters that I always imagined when I lived down South. It’s COLD, gray sludge type snow, COLD, hazardous driving conditions, COLD, overcast dreary days… did I mention that it’s cold here in the winter. I’ve completed my fifth winter here and my body still hasn’t adjusted. I shake so hard, my teeth chatter so badly I’m always afraid I’m going to shatter my teeth.
Spring is lovely. It’s not the same as a Southern spring. It is lovely nonetheless. I’m looking forward to my road trip in a month. I can’t wait to see wisteria, magnolia and even kudzu. Someone remind me to capture the essence of Spring down South. Oh, wait, it’s the first weekend in June… make that Summer in the South.
Anyone else ready for a road trip?
Lemon
I don’t know what it is about lemons that always make me think of spring. Lemonade and Oranges make me think of summer. Maybe, it is simply the color. The freshness, the simplicity, the glow of yellow. I suppose it doesn’t matter. I’m having a lovely spring. I hope that you are too.
15 Minutes & a Chicken Sandwich
At the day job today, I managed to take a 15 minute break for a quick lunch. Went downstairs and bought an unremarkable chicken sandwich. Here are the two interesting views from where I was sitting.
