We were in a hardware store today, being helped by a cheery associate. I felt as if I would rather be home, sleeping, which is something I seldom do during the daytime hours.
As I thanked the employee for her assistance she said something about how much better we would all feel if the sun would shine.
It dawned on me – I was dragging along. Tired of the overcast skies, the frequent snows, the fog, the slush. The cold. The damp.
I began to look around me. Everyone looked rather under-the-rug.
Doesn’t this dark season drag on?
If Mr. Groundhog reports 6 more weeks of winter next week, I’ll take it. We’re on the better end of the calendar now…on our way back to feeling the warmth of sunshine. Can you just smell the ground warming up now? No more winter doldrums!

I’m tired of the dark and overcast skies as well! But I did see the sun trying to peek out yesterday though. Well, I’m looking forward to going to Georgia then to Florida in 3 weeks! I don’t think Mr. Groundhog will be seeing his shadow since it will be pretty cloudy to be able to see it though. My nephew turns 2 years old on Tuesday (February 1st).

Happy Birthday to your nephew, Amy!
Thanks Mary!
You are right, Mary, spring is just around the corner. And we have goat births to look forward to and the ordering of new peeps from the hatchery! All sure signs of spring!
Ordering new peeps, Diane, now there’s a definite spring-coming-in thought. 🙂
I remember when I used to live in Illinois, I hated the constant overcast. Now that I live in the desert of Las Vegas, I miss the green.
I’ll send some sun your way. We get way to much of it and have plenty to share.
Love your blog, and your soap pursuits are very inspiring.
