This:
Fellow Midwesterners, and all others affected by the Polar Vortex: have you had that moment yet where you think, man, I can’t believe we made it through this winter?
For me, that really sunk in today. I was at the park at lunch, sitting in my usual spot by the river. I was far enough away from the road where all I could hear were birds singing and the water splashing over rocks on the river bed. I looked around me, taking in the green grass and blue sky, and realized how colorful the world had suddenly become. I know it’s been a gradual process, but to me, it seemed to happen overnight.
You know I love snow and winter—I’ve blogged about it countless times, including just two days ago!—but I really missed color. And it’s just going to get better; soon, we’ll have leaves and flowers and fruit and birds and everything else that adds color to this landscape.
I don’t know about you, but that makes me pretty dang happy.
