It snowed yesterday. What an unexpected change from the balmy weather we had on Saturday. The good news is that the snow didn't accumulate much! The bad news is that we most likely will not have warm weather anytime within the next ten days. Ugh. The grass looks extraordinarily green underneath the dusting of snow. There is something so refreshingly positive in the smell of new spring grass, and the sounds of the birds chirping early in the morning, welcoming back the warm weather with the rest of us. Everything grows anew. A blessed turn of season. A fresh start.
Speaking of new life, but on a completely different note, everyone we know seems to be getting pregnant and having babies. In fact most people our age we know, or have come to know in the past two years of living here, have had children within the past year or have become pregnant within the past year. We are not ready for children but the feeling of being the odd ones out, the excluded childless couple, is unfortunately strong.
A beloved co-worker turned in her two week notice today. Here's to your new life, to you, Karen.
