~ Spring Thaw ~

 

I am fully aware that writing this post is like washing my car, as soon as I post it there will be a snow . Don't blame me you guys !!!! The last week has been warm , rainy and gave a little sunshine here and there . Hints that Spring is close . This week also brought with it my Mamaw's 82nd birthday . We tend to always do a small family something for bdays and so that is how we celebrated this birthday . I am pretty much o.k. with any way we celebrate as long as there is cake involved . I don't even really need to know who or what we are celebrating . LOL !! Jack Davis got his spring grooming and not a moment too soon. He was on the verge of becoming this guy.....

The Komondor

I am not even joking!!! Along with getting Jack spring ready I am mentally preparing myself for the spring cleaning of my car inside and out . Again, I am sure that once this is done a torrential down pour will be unleashed from the heavens for days and days . And again you guys.....it isn't my fault !!! I have written several posts in the past on Spring and you can find them here , here, and here . I love the seasons . I guess that is why I have spent so much time waxing poetic about them on here . I am the kind of person who needs the changing of the seasons . I don't know that I could live in a climate that is always one way or another . My mind , my body , even my soul needs what each season brings with it . My body and hair could do without Summers 100 degrees and humidity, but alas for every positive there is a negative.....a. very. frizzy. negative .

For me Spring brings with it renewed hope and a reminder of promises long forgotten under the layers of snow . I get this excited feeling inside me that something big is going to happen . My skin can start to feel the warmer air almost as soon as the time changes . Suddenly the days are longer and with them a chance to be more productive . I am looking forward to whatever this Spring may bring with it . In my heart I have high hopes for promises fulfilled , new habits, and a renewed spirit . Now, if it snows tomorrow I will be giddy , but it is nice to think forward into what possibly is next .

Do you have traditions , decorations, or whatever that change with the seasons ? What is your favorite season and why ?! Got any spring recipes or DIY's to share with us ??!!

You never know what is growing underneath .
This pic is a reminder for me that even in difficult situations
something beautiful and even delicate can be seemingly
suddenly brought to the surface .
