to us, spring means...

getting caught in a rain storm blocks away from home.
running wildly, laughter echoing.
long family walks around the neighborhood.
magenta magnolia trees.
emerald & jade everywhere.
more sneezes.
lighter bed linens.
sleeping with the windows open a crack.
blue skies.
grey skies.
asparagus with sea salt for supper.
windy windstorms.
listening to bluegrass on the porch.
longer, deeper breaths outside.
the smell of fresh lemons on the counter.
a carpet of petals everywhere.
nap time in the stroller.
hope.
