Today,spring arrives in the Appalachians (and to the rest of us in the northern hemisphere for that matter). Today, the earth shifts on it's axis and temperatures in the northern hemisphere begin to shift to the warm side. New growth and regeneration are stimulated (including ramps).
There is a part in the musical piece of "Appalachian Spring", at the end of the "Simple Gifts" portion, when the entire orchestra picks up the tune that is started by a single clarinet and "shouts" it out to the listener. I get goose bumps every time I listen to it.
A "gift" of having cancer is being more aware of the tunes being played in our lives that invite us to join in and shout them out.
Come back to the blog sometime later this afternoon and I will have posted the results of this morning's meeting with the doctor.
Remember Bo and Hunter today. Bo has a chemo visit today and maybe a "crummy" weekend. Don't have any updates on Hunter, but I did get his hat and put it in the mail to him. I do believe once we all are good to go, there will be a get together that will involve the consumption of some Eastern Carolina Barbecue. It's good medicine!
May the best ye've ever seen.
Be the worst ye'll ever see.
May a moose ne'er leave yer girnal.
Wi ' a tear drap in his e'e.
May ye aye keep hale an' herty,
Till ye're auld eneuch tae dee.
May ye aye be jist as happy,
Ads we wish ye aye tae be. - Scottish Toast
