Today I could tell spring was in the air. I could just tell. I saw my very first snow flea. I read about them but never saw one before. Snow was melting and water gathered in my driveway. I dug a little ditch so the water could drain off the driveway. I have to do this every spring or I end up with mud up to my hubcaps if I don't. I love the sound of water dropping down the gutter down spout. When I took the trash out to the street, I decided to walk around the block wearing tennis shoes, khaki pants and a green polo. This is exactly how I looked because, golly, I really like being outside without insulating myself against the cold so much that I can hardly bend my limbs. I really like being outside without my shoulders hunched up to keep the north wind off my neck. Gives me the opportunity to look up at the bare trees against a blue sky and to see the red bellied woodpeckers singing love songs to each other. I really like being outside and feeling the warmth of the sun on my back. I really like being outside and inhaling deeply without feeling each individual hair in my nose freeze at attention. Today was a beautiful day. I even saw my first motor cycle out on the road. Please excuse the dancing man. I found a new website with free gif's you can copy to illustrate every emotion. I seem to be hooked.
