Once I had to leap across a wide open gorge…

…landing hard on the other side against what looked like soft mossy earth but in reality was hard sharp rocky earth just below that moss. It took me a minute to regain my breath and pull myself up, but when I was up I lay on my back and stared up at the sky and be thankful I had made it.

That’s how it felt getting through Winter this year. We’ve had mild winters, bad winters, awful winters and dreadful winters. I think the ice storms last year were worse, but this one would fall into the awful zone. I was happy to hold the door for it and see it go off on its way.

Because it’s May 1st and we officially made it. We had a near 90 degree day in April, and some really beautiful days– we also had some cold ones, but now May comes in and we are virtually assured it will get hot sooner than we’d like it to before we get to enjoy two weeks of Fall and then we’ll be back in Winter.

But for now, Spring is here, Summer is right behind it.

Enjoy it, we made it.
