We’ve experienced an extremely mild winter, here in the Northeast. At least in my neck of the woods. A brief burst of frigid temps followed by an on again/off again warming trend…and rain. One decent snowfall made its way but not really enough to institute the usual madness of combined supermarket shopping and fill-the-gas-tank frenzy. I think that, after the asisine pandemic issues, we’ve all learned to cope with what we have on hand.
Spring has indeed arrived and with that, a lot of confused plants who have been peeking out and hiding these past months, confused as hell as to what season really waited outside their cover of soil. It’s been pushing near 90 degrees the past few days, although temps will be sliding back down to a more seasonal level in the days ahead. Still, it’s enjoyable. Except for the nasty little Mayflies which are out with a biting vengeance.
Much like stretching in the morning when we awake from sleep, my home is doing the same after a few months of having everything closed in preparation for the elements that never happened. Windows are open, a soft breeze flows in and spring is making its presence throughout the house. It reminds me of the beautiful voice of Eva Cassidy, an incredible singer whose voice was magical in any season. Today was the perfect day to hear one of her beautiful songs playing softly from our stereo system.
