Finally…spring is here!!!
My dad is a farmer and it’s not unusual for him to reply to a ‘How are you?’ question with a report on the weather. I used to say, ’But Dad that’s what it’s doing outside, I want to know how you are doing.’ He rarely seperates the two. This winter with each passing blustering day, I felt more like the famers’ daughter than ever before!
But today the sun is shining and spring is officially here, soon the grass will be green again. The spring perennial flowers are already poking their green shoots up through the cold earth. In a few months I may complain of weeding the garden, etc. But I hope I’ll somehow remember the seemingly endless winter that came early and lingered on long after it’s welcome was worn out.
Of course, in this part of the country we know we’ll probably get at least one more snow storm. However, I still made an appointment today to have my snow tires changed. We have a set of summer tires to put on, the tire service man said, ‘Well, April 15 is the standard for changing winter tires, so you are rushing the season by changing them two weeks early. ” I’ll take my chances…
I received my new book , It Happened on Willow Lane, back from the editor last week and have been working at correcting the errors. After the corrections, then I must make several copies of the manuscript to send off to the reviewers. This writing business is a never ending process. I’ve registered to attend one day of the Pennwriters Conference in May. It’s in Pittsburgh this year, it will be long day of driving, but I’m sure it will be worth the effort.
Please feel free to leave me a message on my website email, I love to hear from my blog readers. Well, I must get back to work…Happy Spring to all!
