On the bright side the weather provided me with many hours inside to craft, read, cook, and pursue other passions that fall to the wayside when the warmer weather beckons me outside.
I have completed several cross stitch projects and am currently working on finishing up a pile of circus animals.
Blue Apron boxes and the goodies inside teaching me to be a bettered than average home cook have become something I look forward to every Friday. Unpacking and seeing what I will cook, learning about interesting ingredients and time and again being amazed at the final product I produce.
I must also admit that I am not always productive and can find myself binge watching House of Cards on Netflix.
However the sun is out for longer periods now and just last week as I walked through a public garden I saw a street vendor making balloon animals for children which seemed a sure sign of spring.
So I have some little kits to grow grass on a kitchen counter or office desk. Soon the grass outside will be green and parks will be littered with families playing and couples enjoying a picnic. A little plant can remind us that after a difficult winter summer is almost here.
