An Evening Ramble

Spring is,

a promise

a Rebirth

New love

a smile,

laughter

Whispers

of summer

Baby’s face

a promise of forever,

renewal

sandles and

soft skirts

little girls whispers

and little boys mischief

spring is,

shaking off the old

the cold

breathing deep

shaking off

kisses

spring,

fills your soul

warms the heart

a promise of new life

Spring,

lovely, lovely

Spring…

Then you wake up to this:

and you remember that spring can be really annoying at times!

Wordless Wednesday {{SPRING}}

The cruelty of a January Thaw

Posted on January 26, 2009 by Momzoo

Friday and Saturday was a balmy 50 degrees, and rainy. It felt like March. I saw grass and dirt for the first time since Christmas. I live in a valley and in the winter when a high pressure system sits on top of us we get really bad air, “they” call it inversion, I call it depressing. It was so thick that I couldn’t see down to the lake shore a half a mile away for days and days, and it was COLD! Then this wonderful warm air moves in with some rain and the air cleared out and the snow started to melt, it seriously felt like spring. Even though I knew it was just the annual January thaw I can’t help but hope that this was going to be the end to the cold and snow and inversion.

Here is my poor parsley, still green, even though it was under two feet of snow. The green color was a site for snow weary eyes!

(I know blurry picture)
This is my patch of Chamomile…still green….looks like springtime….sigh….

Some more plants and dirt…HA….muddy dirt!

Then Sunday rolled around.
And the cold air rolled in again, after all it is January in Utah, and the rain turned to snow. This is what we woke up to this morning.

That is my Chamomile patch.

That is where my parsley is sleeping

Icy streets.

Welcome back winter…..

My Quiet Afternoon

Posted on December 1, 2008 by Momzoo

Thanksgiving weekend was wonderful! We spend a lot of time with my family and I enjoyed every minute of it. My parents and sibling live about an hour away, so we don’t get to spend as much time with them as I would like, but this weekend we indulged in some family time.

Today when I woke up the house was a mess, fortunately I had nothing that really had to be done, so I dug in and by the afternoon the house was in order, I had several loads of laundry on the line and I could indulge in the beauty and calm of the afternoon.
