march first: sprung.

oh, goodness.

the sun was out today.

the sun

was out

today.

The Sun was out today!!!

oh, friends.

today, we're sprung.

right now our Life looks like a very many things.
den/computer area was also totally despicious (besides the carpets) and needs to be undone and redone.
work in progress.re-designed.
re-arranged.
re-made.
Life looks like worrying over our neighborhood stream and pond.... but today that was all finally fixed, as construction (or whatever it was) has ended, and regular waterways have opened back up. Life to the fish and neighborhood wildlife. woohoo!

it looks like wanting to -trying to- clean carpets-- but of course that means staying inside long enough to even begin the process.
it ain't happenin' while the sun shines, I can tell you that.

it means the fish are climbing the walls of their tank, trying to bust out.
which means the pond -and surrounding area- needs to be cleaned and readied.

' looks like this


an' this too

an' this.

looks like settin' up the bell up at the back gate


and it means roses need to be cut back immediately.


something especially fine comes tomorrow, which means Outdoor Living begins, so the patio must be given some love Today.

it means neighbors start delivering.

strawberries.

an' it means Livin' under the sun

my loves play baseball.


lilac buds. Lilacs!

under the sun

under the sun today.



oh.

the sun.
there are tiniest buds on the plum tree.


dances under the sun.




tomorrow promises more.

our toes are warm.
our cheeks are sunburned.

our hearts and bodies are singing.

we'll see you tomorrow.
after the sun goes down.

  13. It looks like Life is Good, and sunny days are back!!

    We moved to a much warmer climate last year, and spring seemed to have already arrived when we got here in February. I was under the impression that it would be that way again this year, but we are having a very cold winter. People around here say it hasn't been this wintry in years.

    That would be our awesome luck, you know. haha!

    But, just like you, we've had some really warm days lately, so I guess it's safe to say

    Here comes the sun, and I say, it's alright...

  14. Lilac buds already?!?! Sigh. So happy for you. We left our lilacs behind at our old place. Hanging my sheets to dry near a fragrant lilac bush was a much-loved spring ritual when we lived there.
