We live in Baltimore, MD which became the snow capital of the United States in February. Or so it seemed. Back to back storms deposited about 35 inches of the stuff in our area.
We frequently have many deer in our yard, on the driveway, by the garage and in the woods. Where do they go when the weather is so awful? As the snow is slowly melting and the grass begins to peak out of water logged ground, the deer make their first appearance in weeks. Their fur is thick and very brown and they are trying to find something to eat. It's not easy.
I think all of us feel undernourished at this time of year - not enough sunshine, too cold, too windy, some of that SAD stuff going on. Will Winter e v e r end.
It seems I'm tuning myself and my clients for a little Spring energy. A softening. An easing of Winter's challenges. It's the time of promise. Underneath all that snow is new life. Not quite ready to brave the elements just yet. But it won't be long.
Come to the orchard in Spring.
There is light and wine, and sweethearts
in the pomegranate flowers.
