Solar Power
The community creeps out of hibernation, slowly but surely. The sun’s mighty power pulls us all out of our dwelling places. The crocuses beckon us to look more closely at the earth. It’s time.
Cold-weather crops. Garden planning. Spring cleaning. It’s time to open the windows and let the fresh air disrupt the winter residue. If outside, we have to make sure not to be fooled by warm yet cool temperatures; sunburns happen regardless of temp. It’s a good time to clear out some clutter. Yesterday I cashed in $100 worth of things laying around that we had collected (aluminum cans), didn’t need (extra movies and video games), or didn’t use (outgrown jeans) anymore, turning excess into something useful (groceries, gas, soccer kleats). I also gave back to the community with a donation to Goodwill. To give and receive should be a daily practice, not just a seasonal thought.
And now I cut this post short because while I do want to get kids’ clothes out of the attic to take to the consignment store, I don’t want to miss this morning’s opportunity to take my youngest out in the bike trailer. Truly, the blue skies are amazing, and the bike trails await.
This evening concludes with church and the bookstudy I mentioned yesterday. Oh, what a beautiful day.
