Today!
This is why we survive the winter
The world shows off
Flowers are bursting color
Flaming forsythia frames the river
Fuzzy trees and bushes make me squirmy happy
The sky beams blue
The water waves joyfully
The sand gladly greets,
us with our winter legs
(except for the hardcore tanning bed crowd – already too brown for the rest of us)
little girls and their tattooed fathers pick up shells and rocks
to fill purple buckets of heartwarming, serious cuteness
coconut oil floats deliciously on the warm breeze
I can’t stop smiling
Spring has sprung
Let love begin
