The past couple of days have been extraordinarily warm.
I bundled Nick up to wait for the school bus, as usual, and as we stood there I realized it was noisier than usual. "What do you hear?" I asked.
Birds. There were birds singing.
And rain. Only it was snow melting and dripping off the roofs of houses.
And a stream. Only it was just the melting snow running downhill.
Warm weather does amazing things for my soul. I get happy in a way I forgot that I could. The cold and dark of winter hardens people, I think.
After two days of weather so warm I sent the boys out to ride bikes without coats, it is scheduled to get cold again tomorrow.
I can't wait for spring.
