Coldest winter in 15 years!!

I heard on the news tonight that this March is the coldest Vernon has had in 15 years!! I moved here in February 1994 and don't remember seeing this much snow still on the ground on March 10! Usually by now we can see grass and think of dusting off the golf clubs but not this year.

I personally can't wait for Spring. I can't wait to see the new blooms, the smell of fresh cut grass, the 'ping' as the golf club hits the golf ball, the slow pitch games to watch in the evenings and of course the anticipation of warmer days ahead. My shorts and tank tops have been packed away far to long now. I look forward to wearing those clothes this year as I am 35 pounds lighter then I was last spring but I am not sure they will fit; I'll deal with that issue later. I have 5 pounds that keep coming and going so some days I am actually down 40 pounds....I need to convince those 5 pounds to stay off and to take some more with them!!

I am excited to see what God has in store for my life as we approach spring. It is the season for new growth and I really feel God is birthing and growing some great things within me.

I can't wait to plant the grass in the pots on the deck. My lawnmower is a pair of scissors if you can imagine! I just love seeing the pots of green grass growing and the smell of fresh cut grass even if it is cut by a pair of scissors.

Hurry up Spring! You're late!!
