Weather Report from Eskeys Ridge... Woke to the sound of the heater coming on downstairs and went down to start the coffee. There was a tap on the kitchen window so I pulled back the curtains to see a wild mass of red hair and the sweet face of Miss Spring. I put on my jacket and went out to greet her. Good morning! Then I noticed the two big trunks packed and sitting on the porch. You leaving us, honey? She flopped onto the porch swing and wild flowers fell from her hair. Yep, Im heading to parts north and west. I studied her face and saw nothing but anticipation. I reckon youre done here. Ms. Summer putting pressure on you to git? She looked over at me and smiled and a cool breeze moved across the porch. Nope. As a matter of fact weve been plotting against that Old Man together, she giggled. I giggled too. The two of you together would surely melt that Old Mans heart and intentions! She nodded and went on to talk about how we should all get out and see the wild flowers that only her loving hands can put in the ground and coax their little faces out into the sun. Well miss you. I said as I patted her smooth. lovely hand. Ill miss younse, too. But there are others out there who are waiting patiently for me so reckon its their time. I looked out across the valley and thought of the hot days and warm nights to come. You be careful and Ill be looking very impatiently for you next March! She smiled and it was so beautiful it just about broke my heart. Oh, dont you worry. Ill be back. Its a promise, a responsibility I take to my very soul. And then she stood, picked up those big trunks like they weighed nothing and with a last look over her shoulder, went singing up the driveway. I watched till she was out of sight. Ms. Summer is on her way, my dearest dears. Love out to all yall from a misty, coolish Eskeys Ridge.... but not for long!!! xoxo SK
