In the winter months I want to sleep all day, but now that spring has reached my little farm I find that I am awake the moment the sunrises. The morning glories open their happy faces and the little birds are chirping and dancing around to greet me as I go out into the dappled sunlight to sip my coffee and write in my book. It has been ages since I put pen to paper. I did not want to write about Kristophor and the sadness of missing someone and that was all that filled my mind and heart for some time. I know Amanda struggles daily but I do my best to keep her head up and her time busy. We both miss him dearly.
There was a market in town yesterday. Town was booming with people and I sold all of my flowers. I met a new woman, Lissabeth, she makes soaps and uses flowers in them. I gave her a really good deal on some dried roses and lavender in hopes of building a new customer and in return she gave me a lavender soap that I can turn into a cream for my hair. I can not wait to try it out! I also finally got to give a copper cloak pin I made weeks ago to the sweet hobbit lass I met last time. She traded me some more of her wonderful sausages.
It made me feel like life is starting to return, spring always brings a renewal and reminds us that life moves on, it keeps going and growing and we need to do the same.
