Mitchley Hill


Today on my run (first one back on the pavement since being diagnosed with pneumonia on Wednesday.  What the hell?!  I thought I had the flu!  Felt great to be outside though and even through the pollen and the shedding blossom petals, I was remarkably unaffected by the weather.  What a treat to run sleeveless again!), I stumbled upon this tree that was snowing blossom petals all through the air, scattering them over the road.  I thought it delightful that this time a few months back, I was watching as snow fell from the very same trees and now I get to see this.  It's not just me…everywhere I look people are SO THANKFUL for the spring this year.  I suspect that with climate change, winters will keep getting more harsh, and our tolerance lower.  I expect that come spring from here on in, we will look skyward more and more, thanking the longer days for bringing us all the pink and white and green we can handle.  I for one am unabashedly thankful for this.
