Welcome to Wouldn’tchaknow it!
The sun is shining and I am starting anew with this my old column from my newpapering days!
I’ve been considering it for a year or more and today with #6 and #5 having danced out the door excitedly to go retreating and rallying with several thousand who like them like Jesus I decided to take the dive. There are so many words jostling for a chance to come out of my head to play upon the computer screen it is hard to choose which ones to give life to and which ones to save.
I am after all a chronic saver. Papa laughs at me and says I may be good for the environment but I am bad for ours due to all my saving for this and for that and you never know when it will come in handy to have this…..
The log house is so quiet with not only #6,#5 and papa gone away but also #1 to #4 and even two little ones and three hubbies added to the clan but missing from the homestead. The red cocker is snoring in the sunshine and the cats are banned to the outside.
PreEaster when I had the taste of spring weather I dashed to the garden and planted several small rows of peas. Before that I started tomatoe plants which are growing happily on two chairs in front of a southern window and right at the last minute before Easter I sprinkled some pansy seeds on potting soil and they are just peeking out of the crumbles of dirt now.
On the kitchen windowsill I have my one remaining rosemary plant flanked by two orchid corsages standing stiffly one each side to remind us that the Lord has risen indeed and the plants will be back soon from under their blanket of snow just as He came back from the grave. I see green daffodil and jonquil leaves coming out in tufts here and there at the edge of the lawn now! Oh what a relief it is to have the sun shine and the snow stop for one day!
