I decided to make the transition today. No more winter and hello spring! If you read my last post, you may be thinking, Hello dork! But no, I have not gone that far.
The snow is melting, the sun is shining and I have pulled out the light jacket. The one that is too cold for winter and too hot for summer, the one that is just right for spring. I am now officially sucked into the idea that spring is here. I know, I know, this is Alberta and it is only April, anything can still happen.
But today I also put the snowmen away. No, not the ones made out of snow you see scant remains of on north-facing lawns, the cutesy arts and crafts ones in my foyer. One is stuffed and holds a little broom while sitting on a willow chair, merrily welcoming visitors as they enter our house, the other on a quilted wallhanging in the same entranceway. They are not really Christmas decorations so I can leave them up past the holidays, but their removal marks a different kind of celebration – the beginning of spring!
In my own mind anyway. We’ll see what May brings.
