The First Day of Spring At Lake Mary

We are back at Lake Mary after a fun-filled (although, as you well know, not without incident) winter. I’m feeling quite ambivalant, truth be known.

We came home early because I came down with a bug of some sort over the weekend in Kansas. Sore throat, headache, chills. Not the sort of thing a person wants to pass on to anyone. So we piled ourselves in the reliable old Bronco and headed for the frozen North. Little did we know what we were in for…

On the one hand it’s nice to be in my own little nest. All my own things. Cooking in my own kitchen with my own pots, pans, utensils, spices and herbs, etc.

On the other hand, this is not what the first day of spring is like in California or Arizona or any of the other spots we visited these past few months. I took this snowy picture (and, yes, this is in color) of the beach this morning from our snow covered deck. It’s approximately the same shot as the sunset picture of Lake Mary that defines this blog.

Believe it or not, we’ve got several inches of new snow since just this morning and it’s STILL SNOWING! The good news is that it’s all supposed to be melted by the first of the week.

Um, I’ll let you know how that goes.

Still, it’s good to be home. I think…
