Fresh Air

A couple of weeks ago we had a weather warmup - the kind where the ground starts to thaw and the air starts to smell like earth and just the faintest bit green. It was heavenly - I think I even opened the door to the balcony, just to get some fresh air, even though it was really too chilly still for that.

And then of course we plunged back into the cold; it's been snowing the beat the band - usually the day when I have to hop in the car and head somewhere more than a half hour from home. We haven't had any more blizzards, per se, but I'm certainly ready for spring. All the more so because getting bundled up in my coat with scarf and hat is starting to feel confining, and I'm ready to wear lighter layers.

Maybe soon.
