SURF'S UP!

Tomorrow will kick off February.  Recent weather indicates that we are well into Spring at this point in the year.  But, reality is, it's February which generally brings our stormiest weather.  Note this post's pix.  That was taken at Shore Acres State Park in Coos County last February.  Maybe we will get a repeat performance this year.  Hope, hope!  Standing there on the cliff face, you can actually feel the Earth move under your feet (sounds like a familiar song) as the waves bounce sky high.  If you are in a position to visit during high tide and booming surf, don't miss it.

February is also the "kick off" for the Seahawks in the Super Bowl this Sunday.  Super-Bowl Sunday!  What a treat!  A holiday with no preparation, guilt, expectations...except for your favorite team of course.  It's like a "freebe" where holidays are concerned.  You can jump and shout, run about, and maybe claim victory.  Either way, the TV Ads are fun, the game is usually fun, and it all comes to us without strings attached.  So I say let's enjoy the heck out of it.

It's still winter and we are not out of the winter weather woods yet.   The spring bulbs are poking their heads out of the ground, fully expecting to meet with frosty resistance before budding and giving us their sunny blooms. So, February, bring it on!  We are waiting with empty water cisterns, empty ponds, minimal snow pack, and hearts full of love for February rain.
