What Spring Means to Me

Lace curtains are blowing in the breeze and tickling my toes as I set on my bed.  I have finished one long overdue letter and found another, half finished, behind my nightstand.  Caleb is napping and Sally is in the kitchen.  I can hear pots banging from two stories up.  We are having steak tonight with ice cream for dessert.  This morning I had rhubarb custard pie for breakfast with my coffee. 

 

It is late spring now.  Fall is sharp, bright and beautiful; winter is soft, cold and shadowy; summer is rich, intense and ripe; but it is spring that I love the best.  I love the nice little breezes, I even love, if only for a little while, dandelions showing off against green grass.  I love the promise of spring, the way it makes it seem like anything is possible.  If you haven’t tried something before, now is the time to take the plunge.  If some dream was thwarted last year try it again and this time it may be realized, may reach perfection.   That is what spring says to me.

Possibilities

Rachel,

Once again, you've hit the proverbial nail on the head. When I try to write seasonal stuff, my awkward attempts feel more like I'm smashing my proverbial thumb, and, worse yet, the sensitive digits of any potential readers. Thanks for sharing your skill and my thoughts.

Rach,

Your description of spring was just perfect and caught my eye as well! Must be in the blood lines (the feeling...not the writing abilities you have). All is well here. Strawberries are in full swing so lot's of ice cream and cake to balance it out. Our sorghum patch has also sprouted. Maybe by September you will be close enough to join us for a batch cooking this year.

Love you,

Uncle J. Familia
