Welcome Spring!

Did you get up at 5:44 this morning to welcome spring?! Yeah, me neither. But I am sure happy that the curse of that blasted Groundhog is past now. Spring is sprung! Bring on the heat!

The promise of warm days, filled with sunlight, and yards coming back to life! that is best part of spring. I love to leave the hoodie in the closet in the mornings and be perfectly comfortable all day. I love to see the tulips pop up into my flower bed after sleeping int he dirt all winter long. I especially love to see my neighbors again who, like the tulips, have hibernated the winter away inside their homes. There is a camaraderie as we all weed the flowers, prep the lawns, mow the grass, sweep the driveways and take down the last of the Christmas lights safely.

Makes me feel better already. But that probably only means that Monday we'll see snow again. Drat. That is how ironic nature seems to be sometimes. I'll still take the near 70 degree day we are expecting today.

I am a friend of Wendy Vincent's and just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy reading your blog. You are always writing about things that I think about but could never put into words the way you do. Thanks for letting me peek into your life~!

Spring in Utah...we get teased with warm weather, then slammed by snow. Happens over and over. It sure makes me enjoy the warm even in short spurts.
