I’m not sure why, but firsts and lasts most always strike me after the fact. I want to hit back, but that sets a bad example.

A last glimpse of yesterday.

A first glimpse of today

If the forecast is right the last stove fire of the season.

Likely the last log for this winter

The first rays of sun today and a battery’s last morning ever

Daybreak on the last load of winter brush

Our first signs of spring

What a neat idea to write and photograph first and last things! That was fun. I haven’t looked for our six new daffodils, because I’m too busy hanging on to winter. The birds showed me how happy they were for fresh seed between big rain storms.

I know what you mean, Anne. I’m very ready to be done with the whole firewood and stove routine, but I thrive on the late winter weather as well as the wildlife and plants “springing” to life again. I seriously don’t like to complain, but I’ll be so much more content after the winds die down here.

Well now, wind is a different story! Complain all you want. Extreme winds make me jittery and on edge.

Around here we can just about set our watches by them. It’s certainly not my favorite aspect of life on the ranch.

We have fairly constant breezes in the mountains, but wind is a different animal. My theory is that no matter where you live, there will be at least one aspect of weather that will bother you. I had a healthy respect for tornadoes in Tennessee, grew to dread hurricanes and blizzards in New York, and am scared of black ice underfoot in North Carolina.

Life is a series of seasons–firsts and lasts. We often don’t think to acknowledge them. Thanks for reminding us.
