Betweens

Well - it's Springtime in Utah.  That means that it's snowing one day, and 60 degrees the next.  Utahans have a way of always saying - 'well we need the snow because we live in a desert' which in itself is an oxymoron.  I love it all.  I can't imagine living anywhere else - and no I'm not narrow minded or untraveled... I just like my seasons and the seasons between the seasons.  In February I went out and raked my yard, and tilled the garden with all of it's yummy rotting leaves from last fall.  The next day, I had my car in 4 wheel drive just to get down the street.  The betweens - I just love them.  Spring Summer between - where you still need a little sweater in the morning, but shed it by 2 pm.  Then the fall when the air starts smelling of orange and the sweater is worn mostly put on at 2 pm.  Then those pumpkins that just freeze up just after Halloween and become 100 year old pumpkins before the snow hits them.  I love the betweens.  I only know that because the calendar says it's Spring - but yesterday morning I put a coat on to go to the gym, but only wore my scrubs to work tonight.  Today it will be 70 degrees and on Tuesday - it's scheduled to snow.  LOVE IT.  Never a dull moment in this beautiful state. 
Come visit - and see for yourself. 
 
now let's see what I can dream up to plant in my garden this year...
