I'll drink Mead tonight, regardless of the SNOW!


Ahhhh yes, we have a weird bunch of Winter Weather going on, here in "my neck of the woods". 

When I got up, it had stopped snowing.  But by now, it is snowing again, "to-beat-the-band," as they used to say. 

Gabe was a little under-the-weather yesterday.  So he wasn't quite as fast-moving.  And a wee bit more pensive.  But!  Even being a bit under-the-weather...  He stays mellow!  And we (all of us) really appreciate this fact.  :-)

Well, even with all this very Winter weather, I will still drink some Mead tonight, on the Eve of the Vernal Equinox or Eostara.  :-))))))))))))))))  Spring begins tomorrow, in the Northern Hemisphere.  At the Equinox, days and nights are approximately equal everywhere, and the sun rises and sets due east and west.

It's beautiful, but I feel we've had enough of the winter. It's time for the pretty blossoms.

More snow? Oh no! It looks pretty in your photos, but I know you must be very tired of it. Hang on...spring is on the way! The calendar says so!!

It's not so pretty here. Chilly and cloudy...again...and maybe we'll have a few flurries tonight sez the weatherperson.

Hope sweet little Gabe feels better soon!

We thought we'd see the sun fir about two minutes, but it's all socked in again. Poor man's fertilizer I keep telling myself.

Oh poor Gabe. At least, he's still upright. Hope that you and Uncle are taking your vitamins! Enjoy the mead!

Happy Vernal Equinox/Eostara to you also, Auntie!!! It's nice when things equal out...including day and night :)

Poor little Gabe. Give him a big hug from me, please. I hope he is feeling much better.

Seeing your snowy photos is like looking out my windows :) It's very cold here but at least the sun is out!

I don't drink alcohol but honey wine sure sounds good. Maybe I can eat some grapes with a teaspoon of honey...lol!!!

Big Hugs and Yea, Spring!!!

While that snow looks c-o-l-d, it also looks so pretty. I've never seen even an inch of snow before, and just two days ago it was already 94 degrees here. Ugh!

Hope the little one feels better soon.
