spring...

I want it to come. Now, I do love winter and the snow and - if I am being honest - I even like the cold most of the time. But, I am ready for spring to come. I am ready to see green. 
And blue. 
And yellow. 
And red. 
And orange. 
And pink. 
And purple.
And any and all colors that are not brown, white or gray. I know that it is only March, but hey! it is already March, which means we are so close. I am just getting anxious and would like it to hurry up. I want to be able to open the windows and smell fresh air. 

However, while I am just waiting for spring to come, I was able to spend the last few days with my mom. It was so nice to realize "oh! i only live six hours away". So, since I do not have a job and I had some time before my calendar fills up with "plans", I went to see mom. It was such a good few days. The weather was beautiful when I was driving so I was able to listen to music, think and pray a lot. Mom and I just hung out and ran some errands, spent some time with the family, and watched some sweet reality t.v. It was good to spend time with her! They have had such a long winter up there and the snow is finally starting to go away. I think I heard someone say that they have had 180 inches this year. Isn't that incredible? Jenny did the math for me - because I was too lazy to do it myself - and it comes out to be 15 FEET! Man, think of all that snow. I know they want spring just as much as I do. 

But I know it will come soon and so I will be patient...

15 feet, or 23, or 2, or 62--it's all the same.

And it's supposed to hit 45 here today! Yeah spring!

I hate math.
Nice background.
Spring was here today. It hit above 40. I almost had to pull out the dog bed and crank up the AC.
