For some reason, the older I get, the happier I feel when Spring arrives. It might be in part due to the pain I feel in my spine and my knees during the cold weather.... but there's just something so energizing and exciting when you see the green returning to the earth and see the flowers and trees come alive again! I love when the ponds on our property thaw out and the fish start moving again... I love when we move the patio furniture out from the garage and get it set up on the flagstones... I love firing up the grill for the first time, even if it is still a little chilly outside..
There really is nothing like Spring.
Today I dug my scooter out of the garage, cleaned it up, and tried to take it for a little spin. Unfortunately the battery is dead, so that's something I'll have to take care of soon. Last year I barely drove the scooter because I was sick from COVID for several months. But this year will be different.
I've also recently joined a paranormal investigation group called Spirit Searchers Paranormal Investigations! This coming Wednesday will be our first investigation of a haunted art gallery in Cumberland County. I've been gathering equipment to help with the hunt and I'm really excited to get started! It's a great team of individuals and I can't wait to see how we all work together. I think I'll rename my car The Mystery Machine and see how that goes.....
The buds are getting ready to open up on our Magnolia tree, which is really beautiful, but the mess the flower petals make in the yard is enough to make me want to cut the tree down! I feel bad saying that, but I also don't like cleaning up the mess.
In other news today, I've been spending as much time as possible outdoors. I'm currently enjoying an afternoon cocktail on the patio while I finish this blog. It's been an amazing first day of Spring!
Lots of love to you all!
