It is a typical spring afternoon here in New England. I know it is spring now -- the mud has dried up, in most places and the flowers are blooming, but that is not the truest sign. It is the swarm of black flies that nearly carried me off when I was kicking the soccer ball around with MattMann. Blackflies -- now I have to wonder, God has a purpose in all things, but . . . I mean we've just come through cold and snow only to be faced with slogging through rivers of muddy terrain and just when it seems like getting outside would be a joy and a blessing there are those, those, those, nasty little black bugs swarming your head biting your face or any other skin you've dared to leave uncovered. I just want to scream -- ENOUGH! ALREADY! -- maybe we should just move to somewhere that is more moderately temperate and that doesn't have all this things -- of course we lived in the south for a few years when LizBeth was young and there we had other "nasties" like cock roaches (even nice clean people get them there) and Palmetto Bugs (cock roaches with wings -- eeewwwwwwwww!) and then there were the snakes.... A praise, where we are the biggest snakes I've encountered aren't much bigger around than one of my fingers, this is a good thing. I wasn't sure if I should blog today or not. I've been pretty glum lately -- It's been an Eeyore season, but I'm hoping with the increasing sun and outside time, this too shall pass. So how is spring where you are??? Blessings, MaggieRaye |
