A collective
"Ahhhhh..." is coming from the mouths of all the people outside
enjoying the beautiful spring-like weather. With the grass starting to peek
through the snow and the days getting longer and longer; it's no wonder that
there are more and more people outside these days. It seemed like such a short
time ago that I was pulling out my winter coat and dreading the first snow
fall. But here we are a short 5 months later anticipating the arrival of
spring.
What is the most
exciting to me at this time of year? It's not the longer
evenings or the increase of sunshine; it's actually the light layers that we
get to wear for such a short period of time. I know that sounds stupid but that
really is true; I love getting into my car and not having to warm it up or
scrape the windshield. The things that really seem to bug us about winter; I
prefer to just turn the key; turn up the music, put on my sunglasses and just
drive. I love the freedom I feel when I'm driving and I don't have a jacket
constricting my movement. That is true heaven to me..I know it's a simple
pleasure but it's my simple pleasure.
Another thing that I
love about this time of year is that not only are the animals waking from their
hibernation; but so are people. People that I haven't seen in ages. I've been
trying to wrangle seeing all these 'hibernators' this month; I have an
appointment almost every week this month! I know I'll be busy, but it'll be
nice to catch up with them.
Hopefully the warmer weather
will stay for awhile and not only bring the birds, flowers and other creatures
back...but also the friendships that have been frozen over our long winter.
