By now, I thought there would be two white rocking chairs and a table on my porch…along with lots of flowers and a couple of healthy green ferns.  Maybe a colorful grapevine wreath on the wall.  All through the endless winter with so much snow, I dreamed of Spring.  Now, it is Spring.  It is May 2nd and it is pouring snow…and 36 degrees!  What is wrong with this picture?  Don’t tell me.  I already know.

It is supposed to look that this…well, okay, maybe not quite like this.

Instead, there is an icy floor…

and two birds who have taken up residence and are making a mess…

and, obviously, walls that need cleaning.

I have my first terrible cold in I don’t know when and it is Spring!  

I had plans to sew and catch up on things but I just don’t feel like it…

so I think I will simply relax. 

Supposedly, colds last for one week or seven days…

at least I hope that’s all. 

So, in the meantime, I have a good book to finish.

  I will listen to the birdsong coming from the icy porch…

and hang on until next Tuesday when it is supposed to be 71 degrees!
