Its A Beautiful Day......................

I especially love to see barns in the area - although this is not my barn I thought someone might appreciate its beauty. Locally there is a project to place painted "quilt" squares on many of the barns across the area which I find especially captivating because all of the ones that I have seen so far have been different.

Just a week after the cold and ice storm that blanketed our area today we experience highs in the 50's and sunny blue skies (Hurray). I just can't wait for spring to arrive here but we have a couple more months of the cold (historically). I am already planning out my small vegetable garden and dreaming of wearing short sleeves and flip flops. Winter is great for some things such as reading/computers/movie watching/and indoor chores(ugh!!) but I long for the days of spending more time outside in the sunshine and warm air.

Sometimes I wonder if I am living in the right part of the country but then again there are also so many things to appreciate about seeing the seasons change. I especially love the fall with all of the autumn colors. I always think that the mountains look like one giant painting during that time of year. Time passes, seasons change, things are moving at an ever faster pace but those mountains and their beauty are a familiar constant that I truly love!!
