Good Bye Winter

Good-bye winter ... i will not miss you or have many fond memories of you. i look forward to mornings where i can feel my fingers and i'm not wearing layers of clothes. Longer days of natural light and natures warmth. The glorious beauty of a fresh snow is nice, but after it lingers for days and happens again and again,it takes away the pure sense and just becomes annoying. Winters past hold meaning for me, when SADDI became a completely different doggie at her first meeting of snow. When Devon arrived from China in December of 2006. But now your time has come to be gone. Allow the plants, that were hiding in the soil, to make their way out and grace us with a burst of color and a sense of hope. Hope ... which we need so very much right now.

The picture is of the house, during a snow fall, i lived for 25 years, my youth and early adulthood. The memories have faded because of the regrets that began here. But this is where i brought SADDI back to begin our life together. We had special neighbors who were always entertaining.

So now spring 2017 awaits to make a grand entrance.
