It is a little hard to believe that it is the first day of Spring today, with the consistent two foot depth of snow throughout my yard and the four to six foot tall accumulations of packed ice/snow piles. To top it all off another 3cm snowfall again today. However, always a positive to what can appear as negative; this moisture is such a blessing and will truly be appreciatted once Spring truly does arrive.
My wife and I went out today and picked up some seeds for our garden. This has been a long awaited event for us. Its been about 5 years since we've had our own garden. Last year I turned over a portion of our lawn and fenced it off from the deer, moose and rabbits. Purchasing the seeds has not brought us any closer to Spring, but the process is underway and Spring will before us before we know it.
Patience is a virtue to enjoying many facets of life, therefore I must be willing to accept what I can't change and search within to see the positive.
When I look around us, to other parts of the world, it is not very hard to accept another snowfall, I'm truly fortunate!
