I can’t believe it’s been six days since I posted. This week was an emotional roller coaster for me. I am not going to get into the weeds about that because most of you took that same thrill ride this week. It’s time to think about the promises of springtime.
Take this log for instance. A month ago it was a tree trunk laying under the snow, next to the road on West Hill Road in Montgomery. It was about then that I sent a link I saw on Facebook to Paul asking “do you think you could do this?” https://diyjoy.com/diy-gardening-ideas-rustic-log-planter/#0
He answered: “I know just the log but it is still under the snow. I’ll dig it out when I can.” Since then, Paul has made a few of these log planters and they are waiting to be distributed to family and friends. He brought me the first one and it is sitting in my garden waiting for the Memorial Day Weekend planting fest. It is, in fact, a very good symbol of the Spring to come.
The days are already longer and warmer. The geese are back on Arrowhead Lake and I spotted a heron the other day. Perennials are popping up here and there and so are the mole trails on my lawn. I don’t know how long this surreal time will last but I do know it won’t stop the flowers from blooming and the cardinals from singing.
May your weekend be filled with signs of the Spring to come!

I think it’s funny how we’re all experiencing the same emotional rollercoaster and nobody seems to realize it. We finally talked about it at work when we all show up looking like hell on the same day. Discovered Thursday night all 4 of us were all awake from 1:00am to 1:10am. Spooky? Nah. I feel like the collective worry in the world probably translates to an overwhelming sigh of prayer to the big guy and he patted us all on the head at 1:00am. He’s looking forward to spring too I bet. Virtual hugs to you Narda.
What a nice thought! I love that.
Last week was definitely difficult as we hit the two week mark. My ministers mentioned in their virtual message that two weeks is about as long as you can go on adrenaline and the end of last week was that mark for most of us. Gotta hit bottom before you can bounce back to the top!
