Cold toes and a piggie nose, that's what Marie's morning was made of....
Today I got a much needed dose of Valle Crucis. I went to the Goodnight Family farm and visited piggies. At first I thought they had escaped, but after a few minutes noticed a huge pile of mud in the pen. Upon closer inspection, the pile of mud was piggies in disguise. They were sleeping in. Lazy pigs. They were happy to see me, until it was clear I did not come bearing piggie gifts.
Everything about the spring morning was refreshing, especially the frosty grass. I wandered over to the Valle Crucis wetlands and waited for the sun to illuminate the reeds. During my patient moments I noted the singing birds recognizing the happy season, though my cold toes missed the point entirely.
In typical NC fashion, spring is indeed springing. Even here in the eastern part of the state however, the cold toes thing exists in the wee hours of the morning. I saw my fist bumble bee today, and the dogwoods are about to burst forth. A sure sign of improvements to come. Love the photos.
Happy Easter!
