Spring Is In The Air
WhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHH! Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Can you smell that? It’s the smell of SPRING! I got up at oh-dark-thirty to take Duma out to do her business and it was soooooo refreshing! It rained a little bit last night and everything smelled soooo fresh. I LOVEÂ spring - and rain - and the smell of rain -Â and the smell of rain in spring 
Makes it a lot easier to get up in the morning after the stupid time change that does nothing but mess up every kid’s schedule!
I must admit, however, that it’s so nice to be able to let the kids run around outside for a couple hours after school . . . it’s good for them to get the exercise and it’s good for my sanity 
I have no dillusions that we will not have at least one major snowstorm yet this year . . . I bet it’s going to wait until April, just when we’re all starting to feel comfortable with the arrival of spring, and baseball, and soccer, and hiking, and biking, and all the other wonderful things that come with spring.
But for now, I’ll appreciate waking up to my alarm instead of a whining puppy (meaning puppy is potty trained - doin’ a happy dance!), feeling energized by the smells of spring, watching my kids have a blast outside after school with their friends, and looking forward to nice weather so we can do all those outside activities we all love

Yesterday morning there were 5 Canadian geese on our neighbors roof. She said they come back every spring and stay for a few days and then move on. Not exactly the sign of spring I would want but hey, it’s a sign!
Spring has sprung in our neck of the woods and I’m even joying the fine yellow dusting of pollen on EVERYTHING. Yellow is a great color.
Oh I love spring and summer too! I can’t wait for it to happen! Glad you got to have a taste at least!
*jealousness* I know we’ll still get more snow. We take it all before the puffy clouds hop over the mountains to your valley.
