Rumors of Sunshine

Hold onto your hats! The sun has been spotted, albeit infrequently, on Maryland's mid-shore! This has been the rainiest April in recent memory (which may not be saying all that much). It's reported an incredible double rainbow was spotted last night over Easton (I missed it, though). Today has been rain-free, but chilly.

According to the song, "April showers bring May flowers". At our house - a month of rain has resulted in an overly healthy yard. The grass is growing so fast you can almost see it! The flies and mosquitoes are already gathering - the chickens are happily pecking for bugs - and the multitudes of birds in the treetops fill the skies with song. It feels like...Spring!

Having said that - there's a frost warning for tonight - so don't get carried away gardening! According to my cold toes - it's not THAT much like spring!

Rain...sunshine...rain...fog...rain....sunshine....snow....rain...

I'm afraid the weather has been mimicking my emotional state lately - up, down, up, down. Sorry, everyone! (although I DID get a kick out of the snow flurries) For the emotional and meteorologic fans out there - I predict increasingly warmer weather and calm seas ahead!

There's nothing like a change of scenery, good friends, good news, and a bulldog to help you find the sunny side of the street! And...it's good to be home again!

Thank you, Universe!

For everything.
