Over the weekend, we were blessed with a reminder that spring is not far away. On Saturday, the temperature hit 62 and by Sunday, it was a whopping 71 degrees. It's amazing how much different things feel (even chores!) when it's so nice outside.
We took Lucy to the dog park and on a few walks, Chad and his buddies had a football scrimmage for their upcoming season, and I cleaned up the back yard and the inside of our Jeep. The windows in the house were opened wide to give the furnace a much-needed break. We heard a few birds chirping and noticed that the tree in front of our house had started budding.
It's always reinvigorating to see the world come alive, even for a weekend. And it's funny to think that all of those people and kids and dogs who resurface during the beautiful days spend their winters huddled up in houses or scurrying from the car to the store to work, etc. It was a breath of fresh air--literally--and left me hoping that spring itself was right around the corner!
