What a beautiful day today! The sun was warm, the snow was melting, we hit double digit temperatures. It was just a lovely lovely day. I think I can say with 99% certainty that Spring is here to stay. :)
With the warm spring weather come the spring mess. As the snow melts, it reveals mud, dirt, trash and smell. This usually lasts about a week or two. The ground is still frozen so all that melted snow becomes huge puddles. Storm sewers back up and and entire roads flooded. Water leaks into basements. So it becomes a frenzy of shovelling, cleaning, sump pumps, wet snow suits, muddy faces etc.
Yet, there's this wonderful energy - this "aliveness". Moods are lifted, smiles come more readily. Everyone is just - well - happier.
OK! Time for me to open up windows, air out the house and start that spring cleaning.
Man! I love Spring! :)
Our driveway - now known as "the pool". Perfect for splashing :)
The one patch of grass in my yard. :)
