Life. It’s poppin’ up all over.
It’s been almost 6 months since my last post. Egads. But to be fair, I haven’t just withdrawn from my blog. I pretty much withdrew from everything over the winter and I’ve been a hermit for most of the last 4 months. There have been lots of major life changes over the last year: kids moved in, kids moved out, no work, too much work. Too many projects and not enough time. And of course the biggie – a grandbaby on the way.
It’s hard for me to even type that. Grand baby? I’m not even 40! I think I’m beyond the shock stage now and diving head first into excited panic. But I dunno, they’re very similar emotions I think. I can’t wait! I have so much to tell her, so much to share. I can’t wait to teach her to read! She’s expected to arrive on June 24th but I’m putting my money on July 2nd. Whenever it is, if I think too long about it, I pee myself from smiling so hard.
But spring is sprung. My funk has fanked. Veggies are sprouting, flowers are blooming…the ones I’ve started indoors, anyway. This year we have strawberries, asparagus, bush & pole green beans, romaine & butter lettuce, New Boy tomatoes, broccoli and a variety of herbs.
I’ve yet to see a leaf or even a bud on a tree, but I know it’s just around the corner and all of Alaska will turn green seemingly overnight. The last few days have been in the 50’s and 60’s, even creeping close to 70 with bright, sunny skies and the seedlings are lovin’ it almost as much as I am. Life. It’s back. And just in time.
