Call it hoping… 
I shall officially call it reality… a body knows what spring sounds like (like chickadees and sparrows bursting in song); tastes and smells like young air; looks and feels like sunny days melting the snow into muck and rivers of water down the street!
I can’t help but take this warm weather as a sign that spring might indeed be on its way. I wouldn’t be surprised by a few more snow storms before we can dip our feet in hot sand and cool waters at the beach once again, but I will also enjoy what I get when I get it.
The doors and windows where thrown open today and the stuffy winter air was banished from our house. Even if we are snowed on again, at least we have some spring air in these walls.
Spring air is so wonderful. It makes you realize how stuffy you have been feeling all winter. It gets you dreaming and planning. My husband made me chuckle as he went on and on about summer today. I had to remind him to relax, this is just early spring, there are many months before summer yet. He was like a kid! You can’t help but feel like a kid in spring.
Speaking of kids! My children had so much fun in the yard today. They set up a table and took out some of their stuffies for the first picnic of the year… a spring picnic of snow balls and pine cones… the stuffies didn’t seem to mind the menu at all.
I couldn’t help but change my blog header to a snap shot of my three oldest at play… it says it all… all about spring…
TTFN
*sigh*. I can’t stop saying “glorious. glorious. glorious.” to myself over and over. It’s the most wonderful time of the year (despite what christmas songs might like us to believe) 🙂
I 100% agree with you. Spring is refreshing! I love the smell of cool crisp spring air…good for the soul! Apparently we will be getting a few cool days later in the week, but the long term forecast says it will warm up again after a few days. Hopefully to stay!
