I was exchanging e-mail with a friend this morning and we were talking about winter and how it seems to be lasting a long time this year. I was reminded of a few minutes a few days ago…the weather was mild, the sun was shining and I actually heard a few little birds chirping. I said to my friend,
The other day as I was walking from the car into work, the sun was shining, and it was about 6 degrees out, and I could actually FEEL the sun, and in those three minutes I caught a brief glimpse of spring. It kept me going for the next day or so.
Daylight savings time is coming up, early this year, and I really think it will have a positive influence on my mood. It’s not that I’m miserable or anything. In fact, I’m too busy these days with two jobs and my writing to have time for misery. A bit of warm sunshine and the smell of something green can lift my spirits instantly. I continue to go to sleep with thoughts of the garden drifting through my mind.

Hi there .. I really love your willow chair and garden shot ..
I’m getting crazy with such a long winter and so much snow .. and to top it off a winter storm warning for today and tomorrow .. it just isn’t going to leave I fear ..
I’m a morning person so the more daylight then .. the better for me ..
Hope you feel better too !

Love the chair
Hi, your gardenchair is a real dream, and the grass – so green! My grass is full with weed in the moment, and the earth very wet.

Spring can’t get here soon enough for me and yet, I wonder where I will fit in my garden chores (play) between the softball games, the garden classes and clubs, my writing. I love your rustic chair.~~Dee
