Brrrrr…it’s chilly in central Kentucky today! Old-timers would probably say this is “blackberry
winter,” because it’s cold and the blackberries are in bloom.
Around here, any cold snap that coincides with a bloom time
has a “winter” named after it.
I think redbud winter got lost in March, and if we had a dogwood
winter, it wasn’t much.
But today has been cool and overcast--blackberries are blooming—a good day for sleeping
late and sliding into the church pew after the congregational singing had already
commenced, a good day for eating a bowl of chili for lunch, taking a brisk walk
in the brisk wind, and enjoying a cup of hot cocoa afterwards.
I don’t mind days like this every now and then, especially
when our daughter calls and says the baby is having his best post-op day yet! She got to hold him (first time since
surgery), and he’s been able to tolerate a significant morphine wean. He’s been tolerating tiny feeds well,
too.
Yay! Finally some good
news—news that can warm any kind of “winter” day.
Hallelujah on your good news. What a beautiful banner photo on your blog page. Kentucky is just so lovely.
ReplyDeleteGlad your Clay is doing better. I have trouble reading your font size now...54 year old eyes I guess...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maggie! Kentucky is a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteAnd Thank you, Ellen! I changed font size--I was having trouble reading it myself, actually. :) I'm glad you pointed that out.
