I love Spring. I love the sunshine after the long, dark, cloudy days. I love seeing the dark circles of soil expand around the trees as the rain and sun do their work in warming the earth. I love walking outside to do some trivial little thing, and hearing the birds singing again. I love the prospect of planting delicate little things in the garden that will become beautiful, healthy plants that will help to feed my family. I love planting little seeds in soft, fluffy soil, and setting them in my windowsill, waiting for my little "babies" to come up. I could go on and on. It seems that the longing for Spring has to grow to the extent that I won't mind all the work that goes along with it. I could make a long and depressing list of all the things that need to be done, now that the snow is going away, but for today, I want to relish the good. Luckily it is raining today, so I don't have to worry about all of those things. I had better go finish my mending pile before the mud goes away.
