The daffodils š¼ are blooming! The daffodils are blooming!

Everywhere I look Iām seeing Spring! š¼ I feel a fog lifting off my brain this time of year. I guess itās the seasonal depression of winter leaving š„¶ But no matter what it is, I Love it! I watched the sun come up this morning and the birds love it as well! š So much activity!
Well, itās time for breakfast š„ Then, Iām out for the day! Enjoy the coming Spring!
“I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.”
~ William Wordsworth

Have a great one!

What a beautiful, sunnyĀ morning!Ā š Itās Groundhog Day! Guess what… I saw my shadow! You know what that means, yep, I need to loose a few pounds…Ā

Old Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning as well… What does that mean? Well, if you trust the worlds most famous rodent prognosticator, it means 6 more weeks of Winter š„¶

Folks, no matter what the weather rat š says, Spring is still March 20th. this year no matter what! And thatās good with me! That means I still have time to get all the February chores done. Still time to enjoy a fire or three with my family. Still time to enjoy the pre-Spring landscape ā Before Spring really hits! To me this is a reminder ā Spring is Coming! Rejoice & Be Happy! š
