Anticipation

This winter has been an atypically long one for Rhode Island, and we have had more snow than I have ever seen since we moved here five years ago. I grew up in a place where you just expect 6 feet of snow from October to March, so you think I’d be used to it. But oh, how my blood has thinned. Anyway, the snow is finally starting to recede and the crocuses and snowflowers are pushing up out of the ground. The earth is letting off that rich, dark smell that makes my hands itch to dig in and plant something that will grow. While planting time is still a ways off, one can dream, right?

Right now I am dreaming of wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt and fantasizing about these extremely adorable boots from LOL—I wish I had them in RL.
