We had rain on and off today, not quite April Showers but also not like March going out like a lamb… in fact there is snow in the forecast for tonight - a good (ha ha) April Fool’s joke.
I can see green buds on the lilac that grows outside the guest bedroom window. I can close my eyes and imagine the purple blooms that will be there in a month, I can almost smell them. And I can't forget to mention the little points of peony that are pushing through the barely thawed earth.
Spike is a new dog! He’s running and jumping a bit - I know that a haircut does this for him, yet both he and I hate it so much it gets pushed off for weeks. I’ve got to figure out a way for him to put up with the grooming like he did a few years ago. I need a training plan!
I read today that Ontario expects that everyone will have at least one vaccine by mid June. I’m afraid to have much hope, but gosh! A summer where we could see family would be wonderful. Even with vaccines, I wonder how long it will be before we feel we can have friends over for interior dinners.
We did take a little trip today: first to Florence, Pisa, and Lucca - so much amazing art! Then to Paris. The museum with the tapestry will be a must see, along with the cathedral with the stained glass - breathtaking. Yes, someday we’ll travel again although it’s a bit hard to think about now.
“Spring drew on...and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that Hope traversed them at night, and left each morning brighter traces of her steps.”
