It’s Official – Spring is Here!

The rains are forecasted for the entire weekend..the grass is growing at a rapid rate and GREEN…and I do love the color of green and I love Spring…I hope it lasts until June …and we have lots of flowers to gaze upon and lots of hikes to enjoy!  One of my favorites is the trek up Max Patch…this photo was from last fall, however, it can still be enjoyed and will be again. I do hope you are enjoying the outdoors and even though we did not have a winter… I will make the most of Spring! Ciao Mi Amicas! 

A Winter without Snow in the Western North Carolina Mountains

I mentioned this to a friend today…that said…it did snow some….I can assure you…it was like NOT having Any! I missed it!  I enjoy SNOW DAYS…those unexpected days where you wake up to 3″ or more and everything is closed down and you know you can stay home in your pajamas – drink hot chocolate – get dressed and go sledding if you want. Take photos of the snow in your back yard. I’ll try to find one to post in this blogpost. I miss it!  The flowers are blooming – the grass is growing and the trees are beginning to bloom as well. There’s even bees and wasps out…it’s NOT officially spring yet! And….my body is saying ‘what happened to Winter and the hibernation period’? Well…as far as the job front is concerned..it’s almost been a year since my layoff from the G.M. position of 10 years! The year has been a roller coaster to say the least. I thank God for the work I have and for those who have supported me through it.  It’s been quite a challenge and I sense that it’s not settled down for me yet.  I also give thanks for my husband, who’s been so supportive, my family and my friends. May you be enjoying your day/season and/or current job. Until the next post – ciao!
