i live in texas where the weather is already very mild. very.
but still…i wait through all winter, anticipating spring/summer.
yes, yes 100 degree weather in july is miserable. playing frisbee in that i literally feel my skin cooking outside. but the warmth is so nice!
april is soon…then may…then june! yes i sound like dr. seuss, but i seriously cannot wait for a little warmth!
i guess being outside a lot it gets tough to stay pretty when it’s just so dang hot, but i mean, come on! that’s one great thing about the lone star state right?!
the tree outside my window here is finally turning green! it’s a hotspot for the birds, but the fly away before i can snap a pic…but the green contrasted with the cardinal red, and sparrows’ colors are so inspiring.
i’ve even been able to start running in the evenings when i get off work. i really don’t like running in the dark, so now it’s a race against the clock to get in as much distance as possible before the sun goes down.
i was running the other day and thought even that could be a ‘thoughtful’ type post. there’s just something in the air at dusk or dawn that’s so refreshing. i don’t like running with headphones b/cs the ambient noise outside is much better. i guess a treadmill is different but even then it’s a release for me to hear what’s going on around while i stay quiet.i can’t wait until the sun stays out longer! and there aren’t these random cold days in the mix. spring, spring!!

is better, nothing worse;
The flowering branches are of
themselves, some short, some long.”

I am TOTALLY ready for spring, too. Real spring, not this 50-60 degree spring that we’ve had the past couple of days. The kind where you just want to go lay on the lawn with a glass of lemonade and let the sun soak in. Ahhhh.
Maybe when we get back from New York it’ll be Real Texas Spring!
