Today we experienced one of those rare weather days. During a long winter, and a recent bone chilling cold snap, today we had what could be described as the first taste of spring. Yes Spring!!!! It was wonderful, you could walk outside without the usual hat and gloves and scarf. While winter boots and a warm coat was needed, the outside was no longer an assault on the senses. I was amazed at not only the effect on my own mood (It made doing the daily errands just that much easier), but on the mood of others. Everyone was talking about the weather and the hope for spring. Spring means summer is within reach. It means you can think about plans for the garden, walks around the neighbourhood after dinner, and outdoor living. It means a gentler and kinder way of being will soon be upon us. It means tulips, fresh vegetables and sunsets from the lawn chair. I know it is still February, but for today, spring was in the air.
