Me and My Shadow
I can feel it coming.
The sunlight cuts through our windows every morning. Brighter. Stronger.
Robins trickle back into our yard, serenading the trees from their clay-colored chests.
Snow banks turn to puddles of water, quenching the thirst of the crisp, dry ground below.
Signs of Spring have arrived in New England. Although the temperatures are still in 40’s and low 50’s, it is finally above freezing. We no longer wear coats. Just sweaters.
I’ll take it.
Best of all, our backyard is showing signs of green (albeit crabgrass). The sun hangs around later each day, giving way to more time outside. More time to feel the warmth of the sun kiss the back of our necks.
More time to capture time together.
Visit 5 Minutes for Mom to see other Wordless Wednesday’s who actually participated properly. Or visit Seven Clown Circus for Wordful Wednesday if you can’t keep keep your mouth shut about your pics, like me.
I am so glad it’s springtime! I wore shorts today, and it felt like heaven!!
I love the photo; absolutely love it!

All I can say is that it’s about time for Spring to be here. I feel like I’ve been waiting for an eternity.

Also, Babisodes is so ridiculously cute.

I am so jealous. It is still snowing here, and there are a couple of storms scheduled still. I may have to move anywhere that actually knows when it is spring!
I love your writing by the way. It is so precise and bold. Thanks for sharing your sunny thoughts with me.
