We've enjoyed a few days of warmth and sunshine, and were welcoming the Spring with open arms. Winter, it seems, had other plans. She's come back for, hopefully, one last hurrah. So, we've bundled up against the chill in the air, and are waiting it out. Steve's just stoked the fire to coax a little extra heat out of it as we watch the rains approach from across the valley.
Even the animals seem to be feeling the cold. I've caught the dog curled up in the middle of our bedclothes several times today, and the cat has spent most of the morning asleep on my lap. She makes a wonderfully warm companion, but it does make working on the blanket I've been crocheting a bit difficult!
I am grateful for the rain, of course. We have plenty of water containers that need to be filled in preparation for the hot summer months ahead. Water can be hard to come by out here! Still, I can't help but dream of the long summer days to come.
