We, me, my guy and my dog, were going to go for a hike earlier today. Circumstance got in the way and our outing ended up being a hurried drive to the other side of the island(about six miles), and a five minute walk on the beach.
I sit here now, looking outside. The sun just popped out. It seems sacriligous to waste this gorgeous afternoon inside. I could go for my own walk but I allowed the spring to leave my step.
A perfect segue into my next thought, that Spring seems a long time coming this year. Grass, leaves and blooms are starting to emerge but seem reluctant to do so.
I can't say as I blame them. Our weather patterns are haphazard and unpredictable. I moved to the gulf islands around the end of the eighties. I remember going out into my yard on New Year's Day and seeing a rose blooming!
January 1st and I had a rose growing in my yard.
In this new century, climate change appears to be advancing rapidly on us. There are many things I do not understand going on.
All one can really do is hang on to their sanity and go along for the ride.
There are so many things changing in our world.
There are catastrophic events like the recent earthquake in Japan and the subsequent radiation leaks from damaged reactors. Add the conflicts in Libya and many other nations, chuck in the upcoming Royal wedding and we have a plethora of events, randomly covered by the media, to make out heads spin like Carrie's in the Exorcist.
Just another day in Paradise.
Thanks for reading my Blog.
Make it a great day.
