Watching Ice Melt

What I'm looking for!

This time of the year feels like the longest wait. Waiting for snow and ice to melt and for the meadows to come alive again. It feels like it takes FOREVER! And the MUD. Mud season is no joke. We worry we might lose a car or truck on parts of our unpaved driveway. And our dogs must bring in their weight in mud every time they go out. On our walks at this time of year, I can’t help but start looking for the first signs of spring.  It is so hard to believe that last year’s grasses, that look so brown and smashed down now, will give way to new growth and within a few weeks the meadows and fields will be teeming with life. That doesn’t mean we're not hoping for a few more spring snows to help it all along.

That's a BIG opening.

Week 10
One of the pitfalls of looking so closely for progress, whether it is waiting for Spring or renovation construction, is that it all seems to take so long, when really it just takes the time it takes. It’s called impatience. Or looking ahead and wanting what you know will happen – in its time. This week at the Harmony Barn, they have cut the openings for the large door/windows that will be going in. It makes a huge difference to be able to see outside and imagine, that at some point, we will be able to be inside and see the beautiful views!
