April showers bring May flowers… and I am SO OVER THE RAIN!!

Come on, FLOWERS!

I’ll admit that patience has not always been a strong suit of mine, especially when it comes to wet weather. This spring is no different. Just when I think we are getting a glimpse of spring with a wink of sunshine, Mother Nature shows who’s boss and once again, brings another downpour.

I know that good things are on the horizon; they always are! And good things DO come to those who wait… and waiting with baited anticipation we are! With the warmer, sunnier weather, we see more smiles, hear more birdsong, and experience more of what Oregon’s great outdoors has to offer.

So let’s get ready for what awaits! Make plans to go for a hike, invite friends over for a barbie, move forward with those plans to renovate your space (or buy or sell your home!)

And in the meantime, ENJOY EVERY MOMENT! Find the peace and tranquility in the rain, know that with each drop, our yards will be greener, our gardens more beautiful, and our appreciation for what is, that much sweeter.

May the season of rebirth find you full of joy for each moment we have.

And on a personal note, my first born, Henry, is turning 22 this month! WHAT?! Needless to say, Bryce and I are so incredibly proud of our boy and the amazing young man he is becoming. His heart is pure gold and radiates a love for life and adventure and people and family and animals… he is SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN!!! I am honored he chose me to be his mom.
