spring fever
Baseball has started.
The cherry blossoms are blooming in Washington, D.C.
I see the little green sprigs of daffodils and tulips coming up in my flowerbed.
I *so* want spring to be here. I’m so ready for it.
But it snowed yesterday. Snowed.
That’s not uncommon for Flagstaff. In fact, I remember one year when it snowed all the way into June (June 16th, to be exact). May snows are not uncommon whatsoever.
But I’m ready for spring. I want to see those beautiful beaming faces of daffodils leaning into the sun, declaring that it’s springtime.
I want to see people out walking around, enjoying the warmer weather.
I want to quit wearing bulky sweaters and big socks.
I want my gas bill to go down.
I want to see new life taking shape, green trees whispering in the wind, and the promise of a lush (monsoon-filled) summer.
I want spring to be sprung.
Again a wonderful photo… Cynically, I was adding to your list, I want my head to grow and feel so stuffed as if it’s about to explode. Last spring here was terrible. When in the west, I remember how important those spring snows were when you had a dry winter as I think you had this year (I know it was dry in S. UT).
