Springtime on Spring Hill














































Um, er, hello....long time no blog...missed ya...

I haven't blogged in so long I don't remember how!

Anyway, it doesn't matter. What matters is that winter is over, spring is in the air, and the colors are bringing life back to the landscape, and to my winter-addled brain! And I wonder: Is this how New Englanders became so taciturn - by losing the habit of speech during long winters when they were snowed in?

I don't know. All I know is that I can leave the house without swaddling myself in 20 pounds of clothing, and I can walk without feeling like I'm a ship being blown about at sea. Birds are singing, people are smiling, delicious plans are being made for summer -- oh sweet summer! But be careful what you wish for - the temperature has already climbed to 93 and it's only April (that was the day we decided to paint the front porch; Mensa candidates 'r' us!).

(By the way, is it just me, or do those tulips look a little David Lynch-ish?)
