Oh how I long for Spring! To smell the greening of the earth, to feel the power of the trees returning, filled with energising sap, and to see the return, at the beginning of summer, of hummingbirds…
It is very cold today, and it will be the whole week long. Here in southern Virginia it has been a fairly mild winter, bitterly cold days give way to mild ones and then the cold returns; it is a rollercoaster of temperatures, the cold air dissipates and then warmer air from the Gulf wafts in with a promise of better days ahead, and then, boom! The polar vortex makes an unwelcome comeback.
Stay warm!
