Yay It's February

It is now February 1st! For me that is a glorious wonderful thing... it means I've survived and lived to tell about another January! For me January is the worst month of the year... it is long, dark, cold, and I dread it each year. I go from a morning person who can do a million things before 9:00 am to a depressed can't even get out of the chair lazy bum for practically the entire month! I need sunshine! I thrive on Sunshine... I grew up in Texas and California... then God with His wonderful sense of humor put me in Maine! I was fondly thinking of summer last night as I was falling asleep... remembering the lazy days of summer.... we bought a soft sided above ground 4' deep pool last summer and that is what I was most longing for last night... though it never quite stood up right and it was never very warm, Chris and I would spend endless hours just floating on blow up raft things and just talk! So when February comes I mentally say hey only 28 days of this and then we're looking ever closer to the beauty of spring! I love the little animals I get to see when spring comes! The groundhogs playing with each other, fox babies with mom, bunnies licking the salt off the road, moose everywhere... some days when I think I can't live here another day in this crazy place called Maine... God will show me stuff I can't see anywhere else.... like a little animal parade right on the Highway! Always makes me smile no matter what! So for me this is a special day...
