They get a little stuck about now, since the balmy airs are just promising. But you've had some wonderful -- and some not so wonderful -- warmth where you live while we've frozen. :) I enjoy the conversation on your blog... thanks for coming by. Barb Hi Juliet — I’ll have to think about the winter words. They get a little stuck about now, since the balmy airs are just promising. But you’ve had some wonderful — and some not so wonderful — warmth where you live while we’ve frozen. :)

I enjoy the conversation on your blog… thanks for coming by.

I LOVE your story of the crocus bulbs. What fun they must be now, playing with colors all over your garden. We have squirrels too -- thanks to my husband's planting walnut trees about our yard many years ago. Now he kicks himself, because they chew the framework between the garage doors. Haha! Maybe someday they'll bring us crocus bulbs. Hi Patricia… I LOVE your story of the crocus bulbs. What fun they must be now, playing with colors all over your garden.

Here we are rapidly heading for winter and that is something I don't enjoy. I would love to hear some flowing words from you for this season...

Oh, how I would like to be going into spring. Here we are rapidly heading for winter and that is something I don’t enjoy.
I would love to hear some flowing words from you for this season…

I spent 2 years in high school in Rocky River and you words matched my thoughts about my home there. I just so enjoy the arrival of Spring....my neighbor planted about a 100 crocus last fall in her new house - the squirrels have moved nearly all of those bulbs to my garden and they are stunning this week. I hope my neighbor will not be too angry when she gets home tonight....maybe if I get her some coffee? or sparkling water! Glad I found you <abbr><em>Patricia’s last blog post..<a href="http://patriciaswisdom.com/2009/03/announcing-a-writing-contest-%E2%80%93-with-a-financial-incentive/" rel="nofollow">Announcing a Writing Contest – With a Financial Incentive!</a></abbr></em> Lovely word story.

I detest the winter, I hate being cold, I hate having to wear all those clothes to not freeze. So, these mild days are wonderful to me (even if I am totally sneezing my head off already), I am geared up with my garden planning and my camera. I'm ready ;) Anita <abbr><em>Sliloh’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SlilohsRambles/~3/TSjnBzsg8ws/" rel="nofollow">I’m So Psychic</a></abbr></em> I hope spring brings a renewal of the good feelings I had last spring and summer.

It's so good to see you. I love the breaking of spring... We have ice fields on the Lake where the ice-fishermen dug their holes throughout the coldest months of winter and camped out for several hours at a time, confident the fish would take their bait. And now they too have broken and continue to melt. The eagles gathering to fish over the breaks in ice paints such a glorious picture. We have an eagle's nest on a marsh that runs along the Lake, caught on video in one of our lunch-bars. You make me want to grab the camera and go searching for what they're up to... Travel safely and enjoy those grandbabies! And thanks so much for stopping here first. :) Hi Patricia! It’s so good to see you.

In Minnesota, I know spring will eventually come when the ice on the river starts to get thin, then starts to breakup. Day by day, there's more open water, even though there's still snow on the ground. The eagles gather over the breaks to fish, a fabulous sight. I've been in SoCal the last two weeks, going back to MN tomorrow. From what I've seen on the weather, the snow should be gone, the fishermen out on the river, the temps in the 50s, and the grandkids and I can go out and play on Friday! Barb, this is beautiful.

I'll head out with my camera and find some of that "haze" that is the budding of local trees. The first day of spring isn't usually, but we believe in and hope for the validity of the calendar. :) It's 51 warm degrees this morning. I think it's finally spring though when 51 degrees feels cold again. Lisa, what a fun thing to do! I’ll head out with my camera and find some of that “haze” that is the budding of local trees.

Some of it is your appreciation of all that is "normal" once again, the stability of things <i>as they should be</i>. Some of it is just an art form. The greater the contrast, the more focused the eye. I'm so glad your Florida is again as it should be. Did you have some coffee, sister dear? Wish you could come and play... Such a good point, Nita.
