Spring is in the air

It’s springy here. Crocuses (croci?) and greened grass and the whole bit. There are buds on the trees…

It’s been such a long winter. Yesterday, after choir and dinner Robby took Jack to run a few errands. They ended up at the park where Jack pushed aside his sudden new terror of bugs to play on the slides. Meanwhile, back at home, I put aside the cleaning of the guest room to take the pup for a walk. It’s been insanely long since Philbin and I have walked alone. We found it to be quite pleasant– he trotted along happily aware that there was no stick wielding preschooler dangers.

It’s been such a busy week that it was good to slow down for a few minutes and enjoy the fresh air.

Today we stopped by my Dad’s grave– it’s a purple and yellow with tiny crocus flowers. There’s more this year than last. It makes me happy.

If you can, sneak away from your desk today to feel a little spring on your face.
