sunshine on my shoulders
It's been sunny the past two days. Yesterday was a veritable heat wave of 30 degrees. The sunshine on our south facing roof began to drip. I left my coat in the car. The puppy refused to come inside, having stayed outside long enough to find her first dirt under the deck. I almost was lured into forgetting that it's only mid-February and this isn't really spring.
Today wasn't quite as warm but the sunshine was out again. The world looks different in the sun. Knowing that I dropped my son off at school in daylight and it's still light at 5:00 makes things seem more positive for some reason.
The spring sun makes me feel optimistic. I find myself making lists of yard chores, and thinking about what I'm going to plant this year. I skip right over the cleaning up winter debris - trash that's blown from the truck, dog poo that's thawing slowly in the shade. Maybe the winter debris fairies will come and take care of that, leaving me with a spotless yard ready to be landscaped.... and maybe they'll send their friends the landscaping fairies as well.
