May Greetings!
“Balmy Spring—weeks later than we expected, and months later than we longed for her—comes at last to revive the moss on the roof and walls of our old mansion. She peeps brightly into my study window, inviting me to throw it open and create a summer atmosphere…”
~ Nathaniel Hawthorne ~
Thunder rolls overhead while a cold rain patters against my window. Other than a few sweetly gentle days, “balmy spring” has yet to arrive in our neck of the woods. Still, the grass is green, my garden is slowly coming ‘round, and I am able to count these among my many blessings:
The early morning song of the robin…
Silver pussy willows growing in our field…
The old pheasant that comes to feed in our yard…
The smell of soil warming in the sun…
Bright green chives, always first to come ‘round…
Frogs singing in the marsh…
Fat white clouds drifting across a bright blue sky…
Tightly furled buds of sedum poking through the mulch…
Doves cooing in the eaves…
A cushion full of pins and needles…
And always, always, a bit of stitchery waiting to be taken up…
Welcome, merry month of May!
