Ups and Downs

Although all of our snow got washed away in the heavy recent rains, a snow squall (or two), stopped by today (Saturday).  The wind was whipping nearly all day making it just down right cold!  Questioning why I was out in the cold and not home where it was warm, I haven't been staying at the river as long as I normally do. 

While I do love Winter and the snow, this year I am ready to move on.  It's time.

As asked, I finally hooked up with the woman who discovered an Eagle's nest in January...just to review the basics of monitoring with her.  It went well...very well.

Yet in the background, a lot was going on and since the past few days have been rather eye opening, and an emotional rollercoaster for me to say the least, I'm going to chillax for a while.

It's such a long story but I'm too heartbroken and exhausted to talk about it.  There was a dog I was interested in...seriously interested in and unfortunately didn't find out certain things until the last minute.  Application withdrawn.  She's not coming.

Anyway, so yes, I am over Winter, feeling down in the dumps, brokenhearted and exhausted and hoping that all those old cliches begin to take hold....time heals all wounds; when one door closes, another opens; take baby steps; there's always hope; never give up; if it's meant to be, it will be; there's always light at the end of the tunnel; etc, etc.

seeing, saying, sharing...
