We have had a rare warm weekend amidst the frigid winter. Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor. I want to open the windows, clean out a closet, wash the car and barbecue. I love the anticipation of spring almost as much as the arrival of it. For those of us that battle depression, the blues or SAD, days like this can be a life saving peak that reminds us winter will pass. If the groundhog doesn't cooperate I'm going to be having him for dinner. Time to take my meds...
We have new biddies and that is always fun and a busy time. Coop to repair, tools to find, fencing to haul...life on the homestead. Dogs are feeling it to and refused to come inside this morning. I don't blame them. Spring is just under our skin...
Reality, though, means we go refill the propane tanks today, refill the water jugs, cook up a few days worth of chicken and do some laundry in case the water freezes this week. It's hard to work when all you want to do is play.
My son, who has battled his own demons in the past 5 years, is now working out and has gone from 150 to 198 with 17% body fat. He is 6'3" and has never looked better. He is back in school and is growing into quite the young man. I am sorry he had to learn things the hard way like I did. Nuts don't fall far from the tree.
I'm scattered today and itching to get outside so I'm off to wander and play and seek and create. I hope the sun is shining in your part of the world today..inside yourself or out!

The sun IS shining today, it felt good on my face and a complete opposite from the bitter cold outside.
