Gloomy days

It is very hard to remember a more gloomy spring than we have had this year. Normally by this time we have had some signs of spring...even some balmy and pleasant days. The kind of days that make you want to start gardening again. But not this year.

The weather people keep predicting more snow. What's with that? It seems like old man winter wants to get his few last licks in before he gets out for good. As we keep trying to say "good riddance" to the old man our days keep getting gloomier. But hope is our stay. Hope in the spring that is sure to come sometime. If not today, perhaps tomorrow. Or maybe the next day. But hope will cheer us on until we see the evidence before our eyes that spring will come.

Collision Theory

Here's the view from our place on an early morning when we like to walk almost every day. Sometimes the traffic is scary! There must be a scientific effect that creates what we call our "collision theory." That's when for about 3 minutes not a single car goes by, then suddenly two cars coming from opposite directions pass each other exactly where we are walking, and there is no way to get off the road safely. There must be a scientific explanation because this happens far to often to be co-incidence. Can you imagine all the factors that are in play for this to occur? Both cars must leave from their origin at just the right time. We must leave our place at just the right time. And we all must meet at just the right time, where there is not a nice place to get off the road. Our "collision theory" happens regularly, about two or three times a week. Please let us know if you or anyone you know also has experienced this "collision theory" on a regular basis.
