So the temperature decided to send us a heat wave and it actually got above 32 degrees today. Plus, I have to give it that, it is considerably much better than the negative degrees it has been, still... I find myself longing for warmth....warmth from the sun!
I have been thinking about the ups and downs. I am not normally a negative person, in fact I ususally don't have time to dwell on things I can't change or that cause me grief, it's not my thing, but I just have to say that I have been analyzing the ups and downs of living in Montana lately. The weather is definately a downer at the moment. I miss the tulips,daffodiles and anenomes that should pop up right now. I miss that I can't plant my peas, carrots, beets and lettuce right now, in fact, I still have to wait two months before I do. At the present my garden is still frozen solid and under snow. I miss spring walks about this time of year, I am stir crazy to get out and breathe warm fresh air. Not that there aren't good things like.....well I can't think of any at the moment, but that doesn't mean I won't try really hard to find them. You know focus on the positive... but that will have to be a diffrent day right now I am longing for this....
{this is for you hun!}
Why don't I live here, right on top of this bluff! Right in that patch of sun. I would never go inside! I would stay outside digging in the dirt all year long, can't you just see a herd of goats a few cows and chickens grazing there? I can!
And every night I would stroll along the beach with my family. In the warmth. With no shoes.
and eat the coconuts and mangos, pineapples and avocados, crab and fish that just wildly grow all around. I am pretty sure I could just live off the land and that would be totally cool! After all civilization is way overrated, don't you think?
So here's to memories, cause that's all I get at the moment, but I will take them!

Sounds like you have cabin fever! Me too. Today when we came home, the sun was shining and I said, "I just want to wash windows, dig in the dirt and hose off the driveway, wash the car and anything else that will keep me outside! Won't be long... then I can! It's like living in a motel room, down a long hall and no breath of air! Just too bad we can't all have an island all of our own... but then, I'm sure we would long for something different~
We must all be feeling it. I've been affected like never really before this winter. Please may it end. Then to see the pictures of Hawaii!!!!!!! Oh, how heavenly would it be to return?! Someday...:)
I know I don't have Montana weather but this winter has really gotten to me. I watch commercials of the beach and long to be there. I can't say I have ever been to Hawaii but any WARM sun would be nice.
