For the past couple of months I have been whining and belly aching about winter and how badly I wanted it to be done and over with. I was sick of snow, and cold. I wanted the warmth of spring.
Apparently the Great Maker heard my whine... er... wish, and decided to grant it.
Poof! Its springtime in Colorado.
Springtime in Colorado is a time for rebirth and regrowth. Its warmth and sunshine. Its brightly colored flowers and lush green trees. Its the birds and the bees, and baby animals.
Its pollen and hail storms, rain and mud. Its mosquitoes and flies. Its warm manure piles cooled by southerly winds. Its cold and allergy season, and I am currently suffering from both.
We had a short hail storm the day before yesterday with dime sized chunks of ice pelting us at 50 mph. This evening's forecast... 40% chance of snow. The same is predicted for tomorrow night.
So tell me again, why was I so excited about the coming of spring, because I seem to have forgotten.
LOL... I hear ya... I hear ya....

Today I see brown grass and browner moss with just a tad of a snow pile from the plow left over. But tomorrow? Who knows!
ReplyDeleteLOL, oh yes, the biting bugs, mowing the lawn, people playing their radio's way to loud outside, spring is here.

Sounds like you're getting off lightly - heard of a tornado in your state on Thursday
ReplyDeleteIf I can add it here's a poem to spring:
ReplyDeleteWaiting for spring
with baited breath
As we emerge from
winter's death
A chance to be reborn
refreshed anew
First flowers of spring
shake their lovely heads
as the bees debut
As the days progress
my friends arrive, little
green lizards, frogs and
such
Filling my garden with
everything I love so
much
Gently green my Garden
thrives and grows
Lovely in the morning
light and evenings glow.
Spring had arrived.
Enjoy your spring.....toodles...Sandi
