A Longer Spring

 

Legit question.

How did it get to be May already?

April wasn't supposed to have been that busy, yet it ended up speeding by, just the same.  Which is strange also because... hasn't this just been a slower start to Spring?

It's often not so.  We wait forever for the snow to leave, and then it does, and then we have a few brief days of sun and rain and still needing a jacket.  Then the temperature cranks up and we're full on into summer weather, almost stepping right over all the pleasantries of Spring.

This year, the season has hung out with us a bit longer.  Even perhaps clinging on to those lower overnight temperatures with a bit more of a grip that any gardener might appreciate.  We're down in the minus digits again over the weekend.  

But even so.  It's okay by me that we're really and truly having Spring this year.  Kind of fits with an overall theme that's taking shape in my own life right now, starting with Lent and continuing.  

Take your time.  

There's no rush.  

Pace it out.  

Think it through.  

Trust the process.  

Watch what grows.

"There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under the heavens."

Ecclesiastes 3:1

So here's to the beginning of another month of letting things take as long as they need.

Hope your day is splendid.
