So, spring here has been an adjustment. Spring is supposed to be the kind of weather where you pack up your winter clothes and unpack your shorts and t-shirts.... even pull out your flip-flops. Well, not here! People have often ask me if I am enjoying spring as I am sporting around in jeans and a light sweater! I wasn't even wearing flip-flops. Couldn't they tell it's not spring yet?
This past weekend, I declared to myself that it was in fact spring! It was warm enough that the shorts came out (along with those awful ghostly-white-wearing-pants-all-winter-legs) and of course, the flip flops were every where. We even managed to pull out the sprinkler for the children on the Close to play in (and yes, they froze once they were wet).
This weather is food for my soul! Saturday was one unbelievable day. We took lunch over to the Close where Brad joined us for a picnic (it is finals time). We spread our towels out on the grass, kicked off our shoes and just hung out together eating and laughing. After lunch, I found myself lying there listening to the birds sing and feeling the warmth of the sun warm me from the inside out. Literally, we spent most of the outside. It was a perfect spring day!
