Today is the first day of spring, and I spent most of the day inside a hotel at a conference in Indy, so I have no idea what the weather is like. While I’m pretty content year-round, and I obviously love the other seasons for what they offer, the spring is special and always has been. Maybe it’s because I was born in the spring or it usually involves the end of a school year or I’m a succor for a good metaphor. Nothing says spring like newness, growth, renewel. The changes to the landscape happen fast as things start to grow after being dormant during the dormant mouths. It’s also really nice to have daylight hours. Not sure it will feel spring-like when I return to Greenville, but the spring is coming, all of the new plants are budding, and I am excited to see all that our new home has to offer as the flower beds begin to bloom. It’s been almost a year since we found and visited E2 Manor. I will have to look up the exact date. I could never have predicted just how happy we are in our new home and the enormous number of memories we’ve shared with friends and family already.
