FINALLY

YES!!!    Springlike weather at last.  In case this is the first blog entry of mine you've ever read, you may not be aware of my persistent whine about our miserable, cold, wet spring.  Well, all is forgiven.  The last couple of days have reminded me of why I live in Oregon.  It has been soooooo beautiful.  There are so many little things that make me happy when spring arrives in all of her glory and, they are:

• The sun coming through my windows in the morning.
• The birds singing as if they invented spring.
• The smell of the spring blossoms wafting on the breeze (alright, sometimes that breeze is a tad chilly.
• Driving by the park and seeing an explosion of .... children (you thought I was going to say flowers, right?)
• Catching the aroma of a neighbor's first barbecue.
• Flinging open doors and windows to air out the house.
• Opening the sunroof on the car (and cranking up the oldies).
• Feeling the warmth of the sun on my face.
• Breaking out the flip flops

Needless to say, my mood has swung the other way.  Summer is just around the corner people.  Can I get a hip hip hooray?
