We are so close to the calendars date for spring
It is hard to wait for spring after a long cold winter. Now that we are so close the weather has warmed and I have gotten to go on snow machine rides with my husband a few times now. It is lovely! What just got back from another ride to the woods and it is so refreshing and sets the craving for spring even deeper within me.
We ride the very trails we hike all spring and summer and this passing over those trails is just a prep for the more pleasant hikes we take. I always miss my dogs when we go to the woods on snow machine. My dogs are definitely feeling the cabin fever. I have seen it in them for a while now. I so want to say, "come along dogs we are headed for out walk ." I don't really need to say that as they are always watching me and ever ready for a walk at the drop of a hat. Of course for now I am still not ready to hike them through the deep snow with their tender feet that we never acclimated for the winter hikes.
The weather report is saying we have a big storm headed our way. It is due to start tomorrow morning and lasting into late Thursday night. Does that sound like spring to you ? Well having lived here in New England I know that is exactly how it is most springs. We can get a larger storm dumping a foot or more in back to back storms in spring. Having said all that it is still exciting that we have changed the time again and we have longer daylight time. It is exciting knowing that not so long in the distance we will be outside more than in . I believe it will make me appreciate the warm weather and days of no fire to tend more than I did last summer.
So today I am thanking God for the spring and what is ahead here in a change of seasons again. I will have to deal with some more snow and even mud season on this back road we live on . In the end it is all part of the way it is here and with God's courage set in my heart I can continue to appreciate the change of seasons.

He changes times and seasons;
he removes kings and sets up kings;
he gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to those who have understanding;
he gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to those who have understanding;

Lord Jesus ,
Thank you for this season and the promise of change . We all need some change and the awareness change can bring . Amen
