Begining...

"It's mine!" "No it's not!" "Give it to me!" "No! I'm tellin' Dad!" "Go ahead ya baby! He likes me better than you anyway!!" "Does not!" "Uh-huh!"
(Just one for you my "little" sisters! Hahahaha!)

Today is what I'd call a "Biting Day" this is generally one step before I call for a "I Need A Mental Health Day" After many days of just not feeling myself, I have noticed that the strangeness I've been so aware of seems to be ebbing away.

That makes me feel even better. I wish I could figure out why I had felt like that in the first place. I wouldn't mind knowing what it was that helped me out of it either.

So the sun's shining here, and the last remnants of Monday's snow storm are melting away. There was a chance last night for more snow but those farther north of us got the brunt of it. Yay!

Although, wet, heavy snow storms are quite common for this area at this time of the year. That's just how it goes. The only saving grace is that the snow rarely sticks around because of the winter thaw starting.

I don't really like this part of the changing seasons. The remaining snow looks gray and dirty, like a loathsome cur you can't keep out of your yard. My gardens look defeated and dead. It's as if there is no hope that they'll ever produce anything pretty in the weeks and months to come.

Yes, I look forward to just a few more weeks from now when everything begins again. The time when the defeated gardens show signs of fighting back... Green amongst the dead and drab remains of summers past.

I think perhaps I know now why I felt the way I did... I've just been waiting to begin.
