I know a calender filled with nothing but sunshiny days isn't really very likely here in the foothills of western North Carolina. There are four seasons, and each one brings it's own kind of weather. It just seems like Mother Nature would be nice and give us a little break after all the cold and snow of Winter, rolling us right along into a lovely green Spring.
Nope.
In early March she teases you with some warm days. For a blissful few days you get to throw open your windows and let the warm air circulate through the house, pushing out all those closed-up Winter blahs. It's so nice ... and so deceiving.
Hot on the heels of those tricksy teaser days Mother N. likes giving all that impending green a good head start with a month of rain. Buckets of it. Good, old fashioned 'gully washer' downpours. She also likes to turn the temperature back down a bit so you have to shut all the windows again, and crank your heat back on. Not so nice.
Y'all, I can't begin to express just how ready I am for warm days and sunshine. Yeah, yeah ... I do love my fuzzy socks and my warm sweaters. I really do. But I really, really like sunshine. I hope it gets here soon.
Namaste', y'all ...
