Who isnt ready for spring? I mean fridgid temps, grey skies, snow, ice, and perpetual runny noses. Its enough to make you want to pack up and move to the beach forever. I'm giving that some serious thought. True story.
But I also love spring for a slew of other reasons. Not just the warmer air and opportunity to wear t-shirts.
This is one. Flowers. Those of you who really know me already get this. It's an full blown obsession that I just can't deny.
In the spring the flowers are a much needed and welcome splash of color. And I can always find my favorite. Peonies. And yes I am still wholeheartedly conviced they were put on this earth just for me.
I will one day when life slows down a bit plant the largest and loveliest flower garden that I possible pull off and spend every bit of my time there. Sure will.
Another reason to love spring.
Baseball. It's like a great big sigh of relief. Everyone can relax now that the cold has left the building. The tension in our shoulders receeds and once again we can all relax.
Just found out that they have started a thirteen year old division at our local league where Austin has played for years. This is new. Perhaps he will want to go back and pitch again. One of my favorite things to watch on planet earth. But most likely not. His interests have changed significantly. I digress. Oops.
This is also something I am looking forward to.
Outdoor skate sessions. Wide open spaces, big air and lots of concrete. It's another obsession of mine. Also a hefty obsession for the boys also.
And Easter. Of course Easter. And the Tony Hawk Treasure Hunt! What's more fun than that. Nothing. It's just plain fun. Fun tradition indeed.
Then there is a million and one other things.
Packing away the coats.
Shelving the school books for a good three months.
New flip flops.
Time to sit and daydream.
And fun. Lots and lots of fun to be had.
Who doesn't love all of that?
Yeah spring time is around the corner. The Google clock says only 39 days. But whos counting.
I am more than ready.
How bout you?
Over and out.
