Here we are with snow on the ground and still a week away from Valentine's day, yet looking out my living room window, I can feel and hear the changes that are going on outside.  The sun is beating warmer on my window even though the icy wind is keeping the air cold.  I can hear the windchimes along with the birds out on my feeders.  It's as though Mother Nature is telling me that spring is just around the corner.  It's a slow process, but the ice and snow is starting to melt... more so, now that we are seeing daylight a little longer now.

I do know that I am ready for the season's change.  It feels stuffy inside this cottage.  A little drab and dull.  I want to wash the windows and open them to air out the rooms.  I want to take down the curtains and wash them, clean the light fixtures and change over the heavy quilt on the bed to a light and airy comforter.  I want fresh flowers on the kitchen table and I want to smell the scent of bleach throughout the house.  I also want to sweep off the porch and steps and put a couple of rocking chairs  out there.  As much as I hate the chore....I would like to tear apart every shelf in the house and organize what to keep and toss out the rest.  I want to be more organized.

I guess that's it for now.......
