yesterday (4.25.13)
oh joy!
blue sky! sunshine! warm air. ahhhh . . .
and today (4.26.13)
it really was warm enough for bare feet when the sun was high in the sky.
i sat with my face turned up to the sun. i cleaned out the mud room. i put away winter boots and hats and heavy mittens. everything feels so much lighter. so much brighter. so good.
in one day - watch the difference in the ice on the pond -
and baby grass!
and bugs - on the snow -
spring is here! and very shortly it will be summer. :)
all day, i just kept looking at the sunshine, at the receding snow, and thanking God. over and over and over. thanking him for the weather. thanking him for ben's new job. thanking him for mine. thanking him that i get to be with my kiddos - all day, every day. thanking him for the sunshine and our home and this life. i am full to bursting.
happy friday evening, friends!
p.s. there are still christmas decorations up in town . . . hmmmm . . . i'll take guesses for how long the super-huge santa will be up . . . when do you think he'll finally get taken down???
