The Day After the Storm is So Much Better

People are probably sick of snow and ice. I know I am. It’s one of the main reasons we moved from the Midwest. But it is very disappointing to know it snows a lot more here than we thought. And all the winter clothes we needed in the North are needed here - including snow boots. Yesterday was a pain in the neck walking - all the added junk one needs to wear as well as carry an umbrella. I don’t even feel like taking pictures when it’s like that outside. Today was very different. A hint of sunshine (what is that!?) made all the difference in the world. And most of the sidewalks were cleared. Things always look so much better to me in brighter skies - even if it involves snow. It all makes spring seem so much more appealing. We saw our first daffodils, and the little bird baths all seemed to have a snowball in them - they were perfectly placed. The snow design on the bench was different on each one. The path through the rose garden looked all too perfect. The little bulbs were trying very hard to pop. It’s always harder to walk with rain and snow boots so I was happy to get home. Spring can’t come soon enough!
