I sit and look out the window and the only thing that I can seem to think is...is it spring yet? I hate winter. I hate being cold, I hate being trapped indoors, I have the weather getting in the way of my visiting my friends. GRRRR.....I want it to be spring already. But at the same time I dont want ti to be because that means that my little guy will be over a year old : ( It seems like only yesterday I was seeing him come into this world. And now,,,He is talking and crawling and trying to walk. I never understood my mom when she said that when you have children time flys. Now I do. I think that if I had someone to share this miserable weather with it would make it so much better. Someone to sniggle with...to hold...to put my cold feet on so that they would get warm. Is that to much to ask...lol...well the cold feet is alot to ask someone.

The biggest thing that I miss about spring is the smell...fresh grass being cut, flowers growing, the earth. It is all deadened in the winter. I am very much in favor of the smells of nature, I love to feel the power that the earth has as you hold the damp,moist, fertile soil in the your hand. The way that it has of cooling your hand off. The power that it possesses. I already have ideas of the garden that I want to plant and the flowers that it will possess. Each will have a reason for being there. Either a smell, a sccent, a purposee, there will be a reason that it is there. As the first soil is awakened with the shovel I feel like the earth mother. Powerful, caring, nurturing. It is a way for me to blossom.
