The End of February--Whew.

Today is the last Sunday of February.

I am glad to see it go.

Either we've had freezing weather or occasional days of mild weather with harsh gusty winds (dislike wind).

And little rain.

Forecasters tell us we're already in a drought--this may make for a long 2011.

March may have winter like days/nights but in reality it's the beginning of spring in NC.

Buds are sprouting, forsythia is blooming, daffodils are appearing, cherry trees are blooming.

Spring is always uplifting for the soul.

Sunrises & sunsets are glorious.

The nights are still chilly, but as the day progresses the air warms & swirls around us like bathwater.

Birds are singing:)

People become less grumpy:)

Everybody flocks outdoors.

I feel joy renewed.

“Expect to have hope rekindled. Expect your prayers to be answered in wondrous ways. The dry seasons in life do not last. The spring rains will come again
