I have never looked forward to Spring as much as I am right now. And I’m feeling a little homesick for Seattle.
This winter has been long. Right now we have 3′ of snow across our property – 7 feet deep in one area. And last week we had another blizzard, and a rain storm, on the same day. It really makes me wonder how people survived here before electricity. With massive amounts of planning and determination, I assume.
But I can see how this place really calls to people. It’s beautiful and harsh and surprising. The trees frost up into a white wonderland, the sky puts on a variety of beautiful shows, the deer and rabbits and birds just go about their business whatever the temperature, and neighbors help each other manage the winter. And then Summer comes.
