The winter sun on my face. . . . . . . . .


It has been a very different winter around here as we've had so much
 sunshine on numerous unusually warm days. 
It's almost as if winter forgot to arrive in the Piedmont area of North Carolina!
Last night's below freezing temperature, with concern for the buds was thankfully
 unecessary, all is fine this morning. Cold again tonight so we're not out
of woods yet. . . . . .March can often be brutal.


To sit on the front steps with the more gentle winter sun on my face has been lovely.
Seeing the pansies in bloom and the tulips pushing up in the pots makes my heart sing.




Today the sun shines brightly and although by no means a hot
 day it will reach the low fifties. The fresh air is calling me outside to fill the bird
 feeders, clip the now over daffodil blooms, perhaps pull a few weeds - how
 come cold weather never stops them in their constant growth spurt? 
Dinner out tonight with dear friends, a quick neighborhood walk this afternoon
 will be a pleasant pastime before relaxing and sharing food with loved ones.

Speaking of neighborhoods reminds me I need to get out
 with my camera and write a little story about
 mine. . . . .things are a-changing quite drastically
 these days!

Hope your Saturday is special.
