#2944 three things: spring edition

3 spring chickens

 As I was walking the dogs this morning, enjoying the cool air and admiring the blooming trees, I thought there was at least three things to like about springtime.

1. No heat, no AC. There are a couple of brief times of year when I don't have to have the heater or the air conditioning on at my house: a few weeks each in the spring and fall. I am so happy to have the windows open to let in the cool air. Last night I had my windows open in my bedroom and I had such a good sleep. It was a little chilly downstairs in the morning, but I have slippers and a sweater. 

2. Flowering trees. In my neighborhood, there are some really pretty pink and white flowering trees. I marvel at them every day as the blooms get bigger and brighter. I've heard there are cherry trees that bloom up at the Capitol building. I might have to drive up there this weekend to see the "show."

3. A "new" wardrobe. Not that I get a bunch of new clothes, but I do put away my sweaters and get out the lighter weight clothes like blouses and skirts. It feels like I have a new wardrobe, but it's just my clothes that I haven't worn for several months. I'll probably make the swap in the next few weeks. 

Happy spring!
