The last couple of weeks you can tell the earth is changing once again. The light in the sky is brighter. The sun feels warmer. The promise of spring is drawing (ever so slowly) near.
It actually felt warm shoveling a path from our house to my writing cottage this morning. We didn’t get as much snow yesterday as they predicted, but enough that I had to shovel. It was very dark and ominous, plus so blustery yesterday. This made the warm sun soaking into my skin feel extra luxurious today.
What awaited Gidget and me when I opened the door to my writing cottage was the most welcome sunshine streaming in through the windows.
“Oh look, Lil’ G!” I said. “A warm sun spot for you to snooze in today.” She immediately jumped into her bed onto the sun warmed pillow case which I have covering bed. She posed just long enough (or should I say hammed it up) for me to get this shot of her before she snuggled in.
As I write this blog post, the radio station announced another storm is building in intensity and expected to hit Wednesday night into Thursday.
Such is the weather and something we can’t control. But we shall soak in all the glorious warmth of today as we hold in our hearts that the promise of spring is truly just around the corner.
