I love Spring and what it brings with it - renewal. I see baby animals everywhere: foxes, fawns (soon more will drop), calves, foals, etc. We may even have a mamma bear and her cubs on our outdoor camera one of these days. Or a moose and her baby will be captured photogenically? The birds sing so long and beautiful and are so happy in the morning (some start at 5:15 am and my alarm doesn’t go off until 5:50 am. Not so beautiful on the weekends when I am wide-eyed at 5:20 am due to their lack of a calendar that so dominates my world these days. I do salute them and smile.)
But along with that, comes new foliage. The gray of winter turns into a lush green, and leaves pop out so fast that I don’t notice because I’m usually on my way to work or back and during the day I’m inside.
But I noticed the leaves last night in the dwindling sunlight and realized the world around me is once again turning beautiful, a different season. They don’t care about my schedule or my mood. I am so grateful!
But wait. Wait! I checked my phone last night to check the weather so I could get my clothes out accordingly for today AND they were calling for 91 degrees! I’m in a classroom with no air and windows that don’t open!
Where, oh where, did spring go? My daffodils just ran their course this weekend and so did my single tulip. It is June 1 today. I haven’t planted a thing.
Ok, so we are hot in the UP. But I sure do not like to complain about it.
I just miss Spring.
