Well we had nice weather for Christmas and we will have snow on the ground for Easter! It was almost 80 last week, this is too much to bear! Where do you go to complain about how unfair this is? I had some crocus and Labrador violets in bloom, some daffodils up next to the house were just showing color. The daffs are looking very frost bitten and the others are covered by snow. I feel sorry for the poor robins, I am going to give them some frozen blackberries I have.
One of the barn cats came down out of the loft all bloody this am and I could hear kittens crying. Yes, April is a cruel month. She didn't seem to be in a hurry to get back up there and she isn't the best Mom anyway so I imagine those kits will not make it. Natures way of limiting population.
I have spent the day writing, at least the snow and cold keep me from straying from my work. It is hard to work at home and not want to sneak outside when the weather is nice and the frogs are calling you. My husband is moving around outside the office door and giving great sighs. It is to let me know he thinks I should come out and start dinner. He won't say that of course. When I am at my town job he feeds the animals very early and then starts dinner so it will be done when I walk in the door. I like to spend the best part of the day working when I am home, start dinner later and go out to feed the stock after dinner. Then if I want to linger outside I don't feel guilty.
Easter celebration down in the city tommorrow. Going to my Moms for dinner, a long drive that should be nice this time of year- not having to watch for snow drifts and slick spots. I have to stop grumbling about the weather!
Grannys advice on Easter. Easter is a time for Christians to celebrate the renewed life of Jesus. Let us also resolve to start our own lives new, to change what is dead in our lives to something that is new and hopeful.
