Spring 2011

One of the advantages of working 3rd shift is that I get to come home at dawn. I’ve been able to see some really cool sunrises. I also have been able to watch the seasons change in the early morning light. I’m not sure why it makes a difference but it seems to for me.

This particular spring has been fabulous. It may be because I may be moving to a different climate (HOUSE, SELL YOURSELF!!!) It may be because if I do move I will probably never see my NC again. It may be that it was an exceptional spring. Who knows? One thing is for sure – the colors were outstanding. The white dogwoods were full and luscious. The pink dogwoods put on a show that I can’t remember seeing lately. I watched the leaves as they started coming out and I’m pretty sure I saw every shade of green. The “popcorn” trees popped, the red maples were vivid and the azaleas were lush. The spring flowers like daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and so forth exploded from the earth.

I must say that if this was my last spring in NC – it was GREAT!
