A Taste of Spring

Spring. It’s almost too taboo to say it, but I’m going to anyway. SPRING! While we may be weeks away from the official first day, I had to open windows last night to cool the apartment down. In fact, the windows will stay open all day today. The cats couldn’t be happier. They do loops from one open window to the next, just sniffing and staring, sniffing and staring.

While I wore one of my lightest jackets out the door this morning, it was too warm to keep it buttoned. I passed woodpeckers and cardinals and countless species singing their hearts out in the trees.

I want to believe we’re in the clear. We’re not. I have to remind myself right here, right now that Spring isn’t hear yet. Just a hopeful glimpse of an April to come. There will be snow again before it’s all over.

But not today.
