I love April! I always have loved April. In Montana it is not "really" spring but I know it is not too far away. The snow that can still come is so appreciated in this dry country and I know the cold, cold weather won't last for 3 or 4 months. It is also too early to do any planting but I can get ready. It is also my birthday month. As long as I can remember, I have loved April.
The past week has been dark - inside. It started a little over a week ago. It was like a long slow sticky slide into a dark place. And then, as sticky slides can be, little things appear and the slide gets stickier in places. So Sunday came along and I knew what I needed to do. I just started to climb back up that sticky slide by realizing I could clean and organize - re-organize - straighten - revisit projects envisioned - time in my studio without deadlines or shoulds. I could talk to family and laugh about things having nothing to do with the sticky stuff. I could move on. I am not sure why it worked, but the shades slowly went up and the darkness parted.
And - the sandhill cranes have returned.
Did I say how much I love April.
