Dreary

Nothing new to report...
just that 
am
SO 
STINKING
SICK
and 
TIRED
of this
nasty
dreary
cold
yucky
gray
windy
WINTER
WEATHER!!
Come on, spring...
I need you now!!

I miss all the lovely things about spring..
SO, so, so much!
The open windows,
the picnics on the trampoline,
swing sets,
playing in the sprinkler,
sun dresses,
flip-flops...
but most of all
the thing I miss
MOST 
of ALL...
is the
warmth 
of the sun!

The way you can sit in this 
one spot on the couch and the rays
come shining through the window
and warm your shoulders
while you read a book!
Ahhhh!

The chirping of the birds outside
in the morning when I wake up and open the doors to 
let the fresh morning air come inside... 
can't you just FEEL it?!?

Oh, and the daffodils and tulips...
when they push themselves through the mostly-still-frozen earth
and show off their beautiful colors and the 
drops of dew that cling to their petals in the morning
and look like glitter shining in the light!
It's just intoxicating!!

Alas...
It is January.
In Tennessee.
Which means...
we have probably two more months
of weather 
JUST
LIKE
THIS.

I might cry.
