    Spring has sprung.

    It was in the fifties here yesterday.  The sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue.  The kids played outside after school, I played outside after school.

    And I am so good at four square it is not even funny.

    I play to win. 

    And my kids hate it.

    Anyway.

    All the Spring in the air had a smile on my face yesterday and it got me thinking about all the things I was happy about.  And all the things I love about Spring.  And warmer temperatures.  And being outside.   And life in general.

    What can I say?  When I’m up, I’m up.

    So for right now, on this day; these are a few of the things that have me smiling.

    • Driving with the window down.  And the music turned up.
    • New clothes.
    • Laughing with a friend. 
    • Cool green grass under my bare feet.
    • Raspberries.
    • An open window.
    • Dogs.
    • The smell of horses.
    • A little boy that asks, “Is it Summer yet?”  Every morning.
    • Chewing ice.
    • A perfectly grilled, juicy cheeseburger.
    • A sky full of stars.
    • A quiet house.
    • Monk and Neagle playing in my kitchen.
    • Forsythia bushes full of thousands of buds, just waiting to bloom.
    • Tulip leaves sprouting from the ground.
    • My favorite brown baseball cap.
    • My girls singing.  Loudly.
    • Being here, being me.

    I think Spring agrees with me.

    Spring agrees with me, too. Or rather, it WOULD if it would stop snowing, already!

    Glad you had a good day. Someone needs to… :)

    AMEN!! We actually got into the SEVENTIES yesterday ~ all our snow (except in the bush or where it was drifted in) disappeared in about 4 hours in the afternoon. We even slept with our windows open!! woo-hoo!! (of course, I’m not discounting the possibility of another snowstorm though ~ it’s only April!)

    I am so excited to see green and feel the sun again. I thought I did kind of a good job not hating winter this year, but I feel so much better now. Even nicer today!

    Oh, preach the word, sister. It’s supposed to be sunny and close to 70 today. I could just soak in this sunshine.

    I want to be you too! It doesn’t sound like you have allergies! Besides, if I were you, I’d be young again…sigh…. :) I’m glad that you are enjoying Spring. I’m going to be a hermit until everything stops blooming!

    I have a little one who wakes up on the wrong side of the bed every morning. And every day I ask her the same thing, “are you going to be grouchy or cheerful today?” I usually get some sort of grunt of a response.

    I read this post not long after dropping her at school this morning, but am only now taking a moment to comment. All I could think of as I read it was: now there is ray of sunshine. If only I could get my little grouchy dwarf to sound something like this…

    Happy Spring!
