The March winds are here
The wind in March has a true purpose
Without the wind the trees would have trouble
For it is with the wind the trees are able to bring the sap up from the roots.
Wind! We jump for joy!
Soon the trees will have leaves!

I have been blogging for 16 years this week!
I am stunned.
But also very grateful for all of you staying with me over all these years.
Thank you very, very much!
From my Heart to Your Heart,
Linda
The sun has been seen so rarely all this late fall, winter, and now early spring
That when we do have it we are over-wrought with
Immense joy.
I would like to hang onto the joy of the sun. Instead, we have the diaphanous sheen of pearly grey.
Sigh.

We had a wee walkabout—just as the sky was turning lavender.
Perfect!

They say—
That more of this is coming in
O! Please!
Let all of this
Be just a memory—-
Until next year—
in November through February.
Please let genuine Spring Begin!
Storm clouds forming! Sigh!

TLC and I went outside to
PLAY!!!
But—
Dad was backing up that big
Scary
Machine.
(This was taken two weeks ago)
So, we ran back inside!
Mom told us Dad was going out to see if the rain made it
Too muddy to get back out
On the Land.
Guess what?!
Dad is BACK ON THE LAND!
TLC and Boo Berry
Sending their little leaves in hopefulness in the capriciousness of March!

We are in-between storms.
The sunshine is crisp and delightful
The mud is starting to firm.
But——–another round of storms is heading in here again.
Sigh,
From my heart to your world,
Linda
No, not just firewood
But pruning of the orchard
Pruning of the dangerous limbs off the old trees by the house
And weed trees growing where they should NOT be!
Wood! We’ve been crazy for wood this year. 🙂

The lawns are showing sprigs of green—the alfalfa is getting two leaf sprouts, and the weeds are thriving!
Although cold, it is starting to feel more and more like Spring.
