The beauty of springtime is upon us
and we are all the better for it.
We need a reprieve from
all the darkness that surrounds us
and I am declaring that this is it.
The garden,
though not quite as beautiful as it soon will be,
is making a statement
by bringing exclamations of color
that can brighten even the darkest corners.
As I add more blooms throughout the Cottage,
I can feel the lifting
of heavy burdens ever so slightly
and a calmness is spreading out before me.
The windows are open to let the sunshine back in
and the lace curtains seem whitewashed by its warmth.
It feels good to be back.
I didn't ever mean for my time away to last this long
but it did
and I can't promise that it won't happen again.
My thoughts are that after fourteen years,
I'm just not as spontaneous as I once was
and I don't want to become boring,
so if that means a little time in between
then that is how it shall be.
The garden is calling.
It is time for tidying up and feeling the sun on my back.
I certainly don't mean to oversimplify all that is happening around us now.
There is pure evil at work,
trying to destroy our way of life,
don't kid yourselves,
and I know that a few colorful spring blooms
won't change any of that
but, if you let them, they and a little bit of sunshine,
will put some beautiful magic
where we need it most.
HAPPY SPRING DAYS...
