I would be lying if I said
I was happy to wake up to
snow and freezing rain again…
yeah, ok, it was kind of pretty
but still
it’s spring!
I don’t want this anymore.

I want bare feet and dirt roads,
jumping in mud puddles,
sitting on the deck til the sun goes down,
sticky fingers and sand in my hair
and sun on my face.

Before the freezing rain came,
I did have a chance to take the calico kids
out to the back yard
to try out their new umbrellas and rain boots.
(and also trying to start using the big camera again)

and one random chickadee.
Who was also annoyed that
spring is being a jerk.
