We are still buried deep in snow, but the light is stronger. This weekend is predicted to bring us some warmer weather. It’s only our second winter season here on Old Canaan Road. Last year’s relentless storms and record breaking snowfall did not repeat itself, but while I have a fondness for the season, I am ready for the emerging green of spring.
Tomorrow I will celebrate the culmination of year 59 on the planet. I love my life and I look forward to many more seasons of joy, walking in the woods, digging in the dirt, following the brook, and talking to the plants. Life is so full of wonderful possibilities.
My birthday week is traditionally one of the snowiest of the year. This is one week when I will be filled with excited anticipation when a big snowfall is predicted. A lazy snow day at the tender mercy of Mother Nature who will keep me home by the fire mesmerized by the falling snowflakes is a wonderful birthday gift.
I plan to savor the few remaining weeks of wintry weather as the Wheel turns bringing us to mud season and the greening time of year. Each season has its charms and challenges and I am ever grateful to be here to experience them.
