Opposites Attract?

One of the hottest topics in pop and new age culture right now is "The Secret." If, like me, you haven't read it, here's the short course In case you still don’t know “The Secret”… » Massage, Mind & Body and here's the equal time link Shaking Riches Out of the Cosmos.

So, now that we're all on the same page, tell me: why is there snow, sleet, and ice outside my window? I've been very, very thankful for warmer weather, water not ice on the roads, migrating geese overhead, the promise of blackbirds returning before the end of the month, and the days the sun has shined this week. I've believed, based on my former life in Virginia and on blog reports from my southerly neighbors, that spring is imminent. I didn't even think about the weather reports yesterday, because I was so happy that it was going to be bright, warm, and sunny.

Nonetheless, I awoke to the tap, tap, tap of little icicles on the window panes, nearly fell on the ice as I was going to get the paper, and thought I'd lost my glasses the first time I looked through the ice coated window into a very blurry back yard. Half an hour ago, I was watching and listening to the second round of ice taps on the windows. Right now, it's snowing: big, wet, messy snowflakes are plopping on the ground and deck, on top of the ice, just to make walking and driving that much more fun.

Someone may have a secret, but not me.

It'll get there. Don't worry. For now, just visit Florida weblogs and have faith. ;)

It's almost here. I walked outside this morning, and the air felt different. Spring is on its way. I'm near Detroit, so depending where you are in the state, I'm sure you'll start feeling it, too. Although, I'm a lifetime Michigander. Maybe it will take a few years until you get the "feel" for what the end of a Michigan winter feels like :-)

BTW--I just found this blog, as well as your site, and I absolutely love them! I'll be back often, I'm sure!

Hi, Colleen, thanks for stopping by. It's nice to meet a near neighbor (I'm around Ann Arbor). I've been reading your blog and web pages as well and enjoying them. It's been nice to find several Michigan and Canadian blogs on gardens since I'm new to the area.

Thingfish, could you post some warm weather to your blog? I'll gladly download it.

Seriously, it hasn't been a bad winter and things are getting better and springier - but that's another post.
