Monday's Meanderings

I should be cleaning the baker's rack right now

or clearing out the family room alcove

or a hundred other tasks...

but instead here I sit,

watching the changing sky

and listening to my favorite Christian radio station and

thinking of spring.

It doesn't help that my garden is caught between winter and spring---

or that I just cut these roses the other day,

in January,

in the middle of winter!
WINTER--
in the PNW:)

And it didn't help my spring fever/cravings/longing
when I took time to organize my table linens the other day--
well my spring and summer ones.

Lavender, light blue and green, yellow;

flowers,
spring flowers--

argh!

And then, on quite a few days,

one could easily imagine it being spring with the blue skies and sunlight streaming
 through our windows...
well as long as one's furnace is on,
 and one is wearing a sweatshirt or wool sweater.
Or maybe some flannel pj's.

I mean there definitely is beauty in wintertime--
some of it unexpected,

like this artwork God made for me the other day...

from a plastic container I had forgotten about and some windblown greens.

And this winter flowering camellia (sasanqua) which
this year is filled from

 top to bottom with rose colored blooms...
~

But then my cell phone rings
and it is my son

who lives in the south now,

and I see that his temperatures this week are something I can only dream about
 on a summer

or (sometimes) spring day--

and I am back to hoping spring will come soon
with lots of cheerful daffodils and tulips.
Until I hear the forecast for here and start hoping again for some

beautiful winter snow.

 

How about you?

Are you ready for spring or craving more winter's snow?

 

Blessings,

Aimee
