And it would be meaningful
It’s probably because winter was so dark and dreary that I’m so thrilled it’s over. No, it’s probably because it was so cold. Yes, that’s it. Cold. Or maybe it’s because it made me complain all the time. But we should all forget about that, and I’ll be really immature and illogical and act like it’ll never be back. Because spring is here! Spring! Warm! Sunny! Won’t-kill-me spring!
Yes, I know it’s nearly summer (woo! hold on, I can barely type the word without crying happy tears) and some people have been basking in 70, 80, and 90+ degree glory for a while now, but NOT ME. This time 10 days ago, it snowed. I cried the bad kind of tears that day. That day I would have been thankful for any sign of spring, any sign at all.
Yes, a dandelion would have made me happy.
But I don’t worry about that now. Now, not only do we have dandelions enough so that every mother in my neighborhood could have received a fistful yesterday, we have a whole lot more!
Flowers! Buds! And trees! Color! It’s everywhere.
Everywhere!
Mind if I keep going? I didn’t think so.
But wait! There’s more!
I know, I know. This is going to get annoying… but I can’t help myself. I love it. I do not say that lightly. I love it. So much.
So much, in fact, that I would kiss the flowers and the trees and the buds. You know what, even with the neighbors watching. Yep, I would make out with ground cover. And like it.
That is all.

I don’t know what’s making me tear up more, the beautiful pics of the flowers or the glimpse of blue, blue sky. It’s been raining here FOREVER!! Okay, only two days, but still!

Haha, I love your post title.
And I know how much you love the warm weather (ie, Flip Flop Weather!)… glad you’re getting some sunny skies in your neck of the woods.
Woa, I just sounded like Al Roker.

Its so funny just as the rest of the world turns to spring we get bruttally hot and burnt - everything is dead because of the heat…already.

These pictures were such a delight to see as it is dull and gray and really rainy here. All of the Dogwoods and other blooms are no longer on the trees and stems but are water logged on the ground.
This spot of color brightened my day!
Thanks and… enjoy spring while it lasts!

Wow, this was quite the hippy post. I wanna lay down in a field of poppies now. Maybe even smoke a few!
Ok, ok, I’m kidding. Is it fall yet??

Beautiful!!!! Oh I love spring too

We had snow last week too and it is starting to get really really old to have it snow once a week.
Let’s hope we’ve both seen the end of that nonsense.

The weather in my neck of the woods still can’t make up its mind!

Great pictures! They made me want to run out of my office and go to the park.

I’m so with you on the thrill of spring. I watch everyday to see more and more green popping out…I don’t like that it’s still in the 40s in the morning, but this week we have forecast for 60s, and I’m going to the nursery tonight cause I can’t wait to have flowers again!!

They are beautiful pics, and as we head through beautiful Autumn toward winter, I am more than a little jealous. Lucky you.
