~ green leafy buds on the tree in the backyard
~ the song of the local ice cream truck as it roams the neighborhood
~ voices of neighbors in their backyards
~ Sebastian the cat roaming from one sun-filled space in the house to another
~ windows thrown open to welcome in the fresh air
~ a cool evening that requires a light sweater instead of wrapping up in a blanket
~ the joy of sending my boys on a walk with their dad when he’s home from work since the sun is up until their bedtime
~ watching a new bird family lay claim to the bird house hanging in the big tree out back
~ the anticipation of family dinners on the patio
~ weekends spent doing yardwork rather than housework
~ neighbors reacquainting with each other as though coming out of a deep winter’s sleep
Ah…I love this. I love spring! Everything just feels more hopeful.
