Ironic March snow

A friend of mine posted this picture from the Smoky Mountains on Sunday. While it didn’t look quite like this at my house this weekend, it was frigid here. It was very ironic that we did have snow flurries happening on and off, all weekend, starting on Thursday. Because it’s just not what you expect on March 1. And it was SO not what I had planned for this past weekend. Yet it was ironically peaceful in an awkwardly fitting kind of way.

So I’m starting this month in a very slow mindful way, finding peace in simple yet odd things – like snow in March.

I wish you all a peaceful and warm week. I won’t be around much this week, in this space. Unless I do a few mindless curtain sewing projects I’ve been procrastinating for too many months. Mostly I’ll be planning our upcoming trip to Norway, where we’ll stay in winter mode through the beginning of April. Which is another oddly, fitting thing that is an unexpected blessing right now.
