After A Long Winter

by beth on April 22, 2010

Yes­ter­day I got out and worked on clean­ing up some of the yard. While I was out I noticed some of the color that is pop­ping up here & there. I love see­ing color around the house. It helps after a long Winter.

Even if we got a lit­tle lucky & really didn’t have that long of Win­ter this year. It felt long. I am not a great Win­ter per­son, even though I have always had Win­ter & would not want to give it up. I still pre­fer days that are a lit­tle warmer and brighter.

Mamacita is sure that fairies live here. She said that they are danc­ing around even when we can’t see them. This made me won­der if she saw some­thing danc­ing & then of course II thought it might have been a bum­ble­bee, given my aller­gies to those guys I’d rather they stay in the cutesy dec­o­ra­tive form. But nope there were no bum­ble­bees so may be she was right & there are fairies. I’d rather deal with fairies than bees. Bees sting.

I hope if there are fairies around us that they can help us this sea­son because we are try­ing our hand at blue­ber­ries. Grow­ing berries reminds me of my Papa who had a bunch of wild berries in the back­yard when I was grow­ing up. I have fan­tasies of mak­ing blue­berry pie, jam, tarts, and pan­cakes stacked high with blue­ber­ries. I know sci­ence says blue­ber­ries are really good for you, with antiox­i­dants, but really I just think they taste good. I’m easy to please like that.  Give me some sun, pretty col­ors and tasty treats and I’m all good.  Now if only I could the fairies to do the rest of my yard work.

I know isn’t it so nice to have that new life springing up every where :) We will also need all the luck we can get with the blueberries.

I love blueberries too – and we bought a bush last year that produced about 10 blueberries so am hoping and hoping that we get more this year! Jams, pies, buckles – that’s what I see in my future!

I see this in your future too, lots of blueberries. And then lots of blueberry foods, with beautiful pictures that I can drool over!
