It's the first day of May ... and it's freezing and raining here. The buds on the trees are defying the weather and making their appearance ... and some of the flowers are trying to show they are tougher than the weather thinks. Alas, I think the plants may be stronger than I am. I walked outside briefly this morning and quickly turned around as the frost on the deck was freezing. I probably have frostbite on the bottom of my feet.
The sky is gray and the clouds are a constant. Now don't get me wrong ... this is exactly the weather I love in the fall. In fact, if it was October, I would be singing this weather's praises. But it's not. It's May 1 and we've had the longest winter I can remember. It's time for a little warmth and sun on my face. It's also about time that our calendar starts to become crazy busy every weekend. Which I'm okay with, because when the weather is nice ... it's actually fun to get out of the house. When the weather is crummy, I just want to snuggle on the couch and read a good book. (Which is pretty impossible when you have a crazy one-year-old who wants to be the center of attention.)
So here's hoping to a delightful spring that should be on it's way ... because, really, we only have six more weeks until summer.
On another note, the royal wedding. Yes, I was one of the two billion people who watched it (okay, I didn't watch it live, so maybe I don't count in that two billion). But I did watch it. Ah, it made me long for a beautiful British wedding full of tradition. I have the good fortunate of attending a wedding in three weeks and I really think I want to get a new dress with a fabulous headpiece. Is that wrong? Just watching all the guests with their creativity and fascinators, it was splendid! Yes, I really think that I was born on the wrong continent sometimes. If I can be crafty enough, I may indeed make a fastener for the wedding. But first, I must find the dress!
