Spring is FINALLY here! There is a school of thought that winter is time for introspection and reflection. Drawing into yourself a little emotionally while the temperatures drop outside and the flurries fly. For some like me, it can be a long wait! I love it when spring comes. Also known as the season for transformation, roots that have been dormant all winter suddenly sprout and bloom. As the days get warmer, the buds and leaves start to form on trees and bushes and the dandelions come back en force! |

The Homestead is a flurry of activity inside and outdoors. Since there is a large pond on the property, we know when spring is near. The first real sign is the sound of the spring peepers. These are small frogs that start to call right after the ice melts on the pond every year and is one of the nicest sounds in my humble opinion! We had some nice rain earlier in the month of April so the flowers that have started to bloom look great. The lilac bushes and buds on the trees are starting to green up and I think we will have small leaves in a number of weeks. |
