Spring Fever

It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine.

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Mud.

Rain.

Sunshine.

Blue skies.

Puffy clouds.

Robins hopping around the yard.

Warm breezes.

Cool winds.

The smell of the earth.

Longer days.

Green things starting to push their way above the ground and unfurl.

The first sight of a crocus.

And then a daffodil.

Being able to go outside with just a jacket.

Regretting that decision when the breeze picks up.

Frosty mornings that turn into warm afternoons.

The green haze of leaves starting to emerge on the trees.

Possibilities.

A bit of joy.

Spring.
