Given that it is currently 37 degrees, I think it was probably premature to go thout socks today. I couldn't help myself! It was nearly 20 degrees warmer when I left the house this morning, and the promise of spring has me darn near giddy at the thought of getting to wear open-toed sandals soon. One of my favorite things about spring, aside from glorying in the flowering trees and fresh warm air, is banishing my socks and tights to the dresser drawer for several months. Today, I even brought out my favorite ruby red raincoat and polka dot umbrella - so much more cheerful than my standard black wool winter overcoat.
Everything just seems more hopeful and alive with the anticipation of the newness that comes with spring. And here, here is proof that it's right around the corner:
I'm choosing to ignore the memory of these same daffodils struggling to remain upright in the unseasonal six inches of snow we were we trudging through right around this time last year. Even after such a mild winter, I'm holding out for March to be more lamb than lion this year. I'm so ready to make painting my toenails a priority.
Bring on the spring!
