discover joy

It brings me great joy to spot early season bulbs poking through thawing ground.

A sign of things to come.

I am a huge fan of planting bulbs in the Fall! After a long Winter, they are such a welcome sight.

Brad & I naturalized more bulbs last year in the wooded path across from our house. Makes me wonder...

There is so much to discover in Spring. Just ask our dogs.

swing towards spring

Most of yesterday was spent inside a snow globe.

the only thing moving was the snow

3.8.25 (11 secs)

Today is completely different, a swing towards spring.

Jameson turned 12 earlier this week. He instantly drops and rolls outside. Tank is not a roller. He is all about sticks. Big sticks. Slivers of sticks. Medium sticks. He never chews them. Tanks world is all about play, all of the time! Every season. No swing here.

I wonder if Bluebirds will use either of our two nesting boxes this season?

I removed the wads of aluminum blocking the entrances.

Our horses are loving the warming pre-spring sun.

The above South West corner is alway our last to swing towards Spring.

It is okay. 

I am not eager for tick and mosquito swatting season, paired with sweating season. My least favorite time of year. In fact, I love the changing of cooler seasons. The inbetween swings, and sayings. Like this one:

Wishing you all Blue Skies and Sunny Days.

Closing out February. One of my favorite months. It sure went by fast! 

the pause

Sometimes there are things you have to do that you would rather not do.

All the what-ifs create angst.

As I headed down our driveway yesterday, I paused. 

There is a lot to be said for pausing. It creates space for beautiful moments. 

I wished for more time, to linger in that space.

Looking through my truck window, I knew I didn't need it. 

I paused just long enough for Hope (and Brad) and my angst simply melted away.
