Dear Snow ~I've just gotta say that I am beyond grateful that you have finally melted from the scene. It's been a frigid, endless winter and I really thought you'd never make your final departure. My little 3 year old granddaughter actually wept last week as she spied a fresh early morning layer of your fluffy white presence on her lawn.
Enough is enough.
The crocuses and daffodils are bursting out in all their radiant glory and buds are pushing their way into view high up in the trees. What a joy to fling the windows wide open, pack away those heavy sweaters, and put my feet up out on the back porch.
And wonder of wonders? I know that flip flops, t-shirts, and brightly colored tootsies can't be far behind.
To everything there is a season. And at least around these parts, yours is gone.
A joyful adios.

Hello Linda, I bet it is wonderful to finally put away those sweaters and heavy pants! I have kept a few around for walking the dog, but we have been able to enjoy some wonderful weather here in Charlotte. I love the changing of the seasons. Like God's promise to us of washing away the old and bringing in the new. It is constant. Have a good one.
ReplyDeleteEach new season's arrival reminds us of all the wonderful gifts of that season! And right now, I'm embracing all things springtime! LOVE it!
DeleteAnd it's so good to see you again, Kim! Yet another treasure of today ...
;-}
YES--Spring and renewal has come to the South-----Green and Bloom----ALL AROUND! Remind me, Friend, when I am complaining this summer about the heat of this LONG cold winter!
ReplyDeleteSigh. We're never satisfied with the weather ... EXCEPT in spring and autumn where comfort is the name of the game!

Yay, Spring!!! So glad it's arrived for you, too. I'm so enjoying this beautiful weather. ~Angela~
ReplyDeleteI just love it!

amen!!! My thoughts exactly! (Except I still have a patch of snow on my patio. Will it ever go away?)
ReplyDeleteI had decided a month ago that when there were no patches left, I was going to write this post! Today's the 'all clear' day for you, Sharon! I KNOW it!
