Spring has sprung in my back yard! Just as I was losing hope and beginning to succumb to the late winter blues... a breath of fresh air (quite literally)! I woke up late to Loomis' pleading eyes, requesting some play time. I fixed myself a cup of green tea and settled in a patch of sun outside, finally finishing my book. For the rest of the day I plodded from patch of green to patch of green enjoying the little signs of life I had yet to notice so far this year. Loomis spent most of his morning bringing me any bits of sticks he could find, gently placing them on my lap and backing away, demanding my attention. When he realized my throws were getting shorter and my interest less enthused, he began running frantic laps around the big oak tree- most likely in hopes of some negative attention. Obviously, the weather was affecting him positively too... I can only hope that more of these days are around the corner. I have already started my list of vegetables to garden and can't wait to get them in the ground. There is no better smell than sun soaked tomatoes and bowls of fresh zucchini and summer squash awaiting sautées. In fact, I refuse to take off my tank top for fear that the weather will get the wrong idea and turn to snow again.
