Grey clouds hang dense and dismal
Shutting off entire shafts of sunlight
Puddles mirror the gloom overhead
Leaves wait in absolute stillness,
For the first drops of summer rain.
The leaves now dance
The puddles fill with ripples
And the scene comes alive,
Drenched in the beauty of rain.
A hazy morning walk in the park I stop not minding the biting cold Look above at the pretty little pinks Gusty wind playing at the blossoms Steal my heart, soothe my soul.
Angelic white these are, Blackthorn blossoms at Spring.
Bursts of yellow popping up to greet you, these Wild Daffodils steal your heart.
Spring snaps these little beauties out of their slumber. The until then dreary park around the corner comes alive with colourful blossoms and delighted children.
Everyone hits rock bottom every once in a while, but what really matters is rising back up and showing up the next day. This is life. To me, Spring mirrors life!🥂
We’re nearly at spring, with the daylight saving time sneaking in tomorrow. But the weather simply cannot seem to make up its mind! We were experiencing little to no snow this winter, until this morning when we woke up to gusts of swirling snow.
The snow persisted for well over an hour and immediately afterwards there was rain. Well then, the snow melted and it was like it never happened!
Cheers to a crazy winter with crazy memories!🥂
We only recently moved into a temperature zone such as this and I am still in awe of all the winter activities I see in Instagram. So we decided to try one, and zeroed in on Camelback Resort at the Poconos. Got tickets for snowtubing and off we went.
This activity is well suited for beginners and kids. The chill air rushing past you as you slide down the slope gets you all the more fresh and excited! I’m glad we tried it with our Five year old who wailed all the way up the slope that she didn’t wanna do it. The very first slide later, she was running wild, grabbing a tube and racing up the hill, not bothering to wait for us! The colorful light display on the lanes added a nice touch, as the evening progressed.
Only make sure you’re dressed appropriately. Warm socks, Thermal gloves and Scarves makes the cold much more bearable and lets you have the best experience.
Trying new things takes effort and a certain quashing of uncertainty, but in the end it’s all worth it! 🥂
After an almost no-snow January, it was a pleasant surprise to see my backyard covered in a thin sheet of snow when I woke up today.
Of course, snow hinders our daily activities a lot, but personally I was hoping for it to snow. I like the scrunch of it under my boots, it’s color bringing in purity from the skies. The sheer strength of snow is amazing to me. It falls all flakey, simple flurries no heavier than the smallest of flowers. But it settles hard, us huffing and puffing to shovel it out of our way.
Yes, I’m a winter lover through and through!
