There is plenty of loveliness happening around these parts. Yesterday was an amazingly beautiful day. The sun was shining bright. I sprinted out the door so fast that I forgot to bring the damn camera. The boys and I went on a walk up Waterworks/Randolph hill for two hours, and about midway I realized I had forgotten the camera, but decided I wasn't going to even attempt to get the kids to turn around to go back and get it.
So we kept on. It was blissful, one beautiful step after the other. I tried to imagine the brown grass being replaced with green bunch grass and WILDFLOWERS, oh the wildflowers on that hill are breathtaking. I get weepy thinking about how magical it is, really. To think that just a few decades ago, you could see that amazing mountainous, sweeping hillside view in the spring without it ever being interupted by highways and sprawling suburbs. I think about how thankful I am for this spring feeling and the warmer weather. Imagine what that must have been like for folks living without heaters, and truly living off of root cellar food all winter! They must have been elated by the prospects of spring.
Our garden is planned on paper. The snow is still covering part of the plot, but not for long I think. We have so many special events happening this spring and summer. Mayday parties, weddings, gardening playdates, picnics, shenannigens. I'm giddy.
