Let the Sunshine In.....

Thank God.

Things are thawing in the Nation's Refrigerator. It's beginning to look a lot like....Spring.

The time changed (3 weeks early) this past Sunday morning, and we went from cold and dark to bright, warmer and sunny, pretty much overnight.

I'm not complaining. The seasons here literally butt up one against the other, with little to no transition time; it's just so sudden, it takes some getting used to. I'm still wearing Winter turtlenecks and drab earth tones. I suddenly have the urge to replace everything in my wardrobe with breezy florals and pastels.



Things are melt-y and slushy outside, and the last big snowstorm will soon be but a memory.

This just makes me want to return to the land of citrus trees, shaking ground, salt air and endless coastline that much more (yes, I'm talking about California).

Until that actually occurs, however, I can at least keep eyeballing this photo:

Yes, what a great picture of the bridge. I too, am enjoying this unexpected spring thaw. Connor, mom and I went on two, yes two walks this weekend. I even had to break out the shades! Ahhh, spring in Minnesota...yep, in a few days it will be 32 degrees again. Keep those turtlenecks handy, it ain't over yet. :o) Don't cha just love the suprise of it all? :o) KP :o)

Sigh. I'm used to one long season......more or less. With a few variations with regard to wetness and coldness and fogginess thrown in for good measure.....
