3rd Spring Fake Out

After a week or 2 of wondrous weather in PA, here we are… snow, wind and chilly temps again (insert eye roll emoji). I should’ve known better. 3rd-spring-fake-out has struck again. But I was just feeling so darn excited for warmth, sunshine, and FLOWERS. Making plans for some new beds and maybe even dreaming big with a new patio addition. My birthday is in May so I usually ask for things like mulch and a trip to the Amish greenhouses for my presents, and I was having visions of early planting. And then reality hit. Snow.

I tried to rationalize with myself that it’s still March and it’s perfectly normal! But the more I thought about it, the more I realized the feeling the sunshine was bringing was HOPE. Hope for better days, for energy and purpose, for light. Then I realized Easter is next week. Wow, life is an amazing thing. Glad I’m still here for it, and glad you’re joining me for the ride.

Here’s to sunshine and flowers, and most of all, hope.
