the coming Spring.......

Here t’is February already & looking back, I gotta say that while it’s a given that there’s no such thing as an intrinsically BAD month, as months go, January is pretty darn dreary. On that other hand, the one that I mention so often, paperwhites (narcissus) bloom in January, at least here in norCal.....here & there come little shoots of green sprouting almost whimsically under grey skies......
Guess you c’d say, I’m looking fwd to Spring this year...maybe a l’il bit more than usual after an unusually depressing (for me anyway) winter.....but Chemo is over & winter is withdrawing, at least here in the valley...More snow to come in the sierra where we really need it.....and I’m looking forward to NEW GROWTH.......
“I think the worst is over now. Yeah, I’m gonna be alright, and the morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball.....” Paul Simon.....
All that as a prelude to the new growth-thing, the blooming narcissi, the l’il shoots of green, the coming of Spring is bustin’ out all over......Running my hand over my bald pate, I feel..........wait for it.........FUZZ!...It ain’t really hair yet but it’s the precursor to real hair.....I’m growing facial hair also....not the stubble I was used to having, but what the heck? I’ll take what I c’n get.....whiskers, then (hopefully) eyebrows ‘n maybe by April or May, Millyrose might say I c’d use a haircut........
