Although we had four
inches of snow yesterday, and it’ll only be in the 30s today, my calendar
says it’s the first day of spring.
We’ve been having some
melting, too. Slushy puddles of ice water to step in, ones that freeze overnight
making it treacherous in the morning. But the sun, warm and welcome in the
moist air, makes it all worthwhile.
I remember when I was a
kid, I loved the melting snow. I’d cut winding paths through the ice to create
rivers that ran into big pools of water. Then I'd cut another path downhill from
that pool to make rivers that continued all the way to the sea (by way of the
city sewer system.)
The hours I spent
crouching, making canals and rivers and pools are a fond memory. The quiet
time allowed my imagination to run free, evoking lovely dreams of adventure and
romance far from our little backyard in Saint Paul.
Today, as I plod through
my many writing tasks, I just may put on my rubbery boots and head outside. Once I
find a sturdy stick and open a channel for melted snow, maybe some of those
innocent adventures from my youthful daydreams will come flooding back. Could
there be a new book idea for me in that wonderful spring sunshine?
Happy Spring!

Best of luck cutting those channels and letting the ideas flow. We seem to have had spring all winter this year in CA. Buds that shouldn't poke out of the snow until May are already making an appearance in our snow free yard!
Laura. Gotta love your optimism. Good luck with those free flowing thoughts. We are so ready for Spring! I've been jealous of Jannine ALL winter.
Happy spring, Laura!
Jannine, you're lucky. It's been one of the longest, ugliest winters I've ever complained through!
Margo, we'll get our chance at spring soon (I hope!)
Thanks, Leah, same to you!
Have fun outside, and here's hoping a wonderful idea for a book 'blooms' for you. ;) Glad you're finally getting your sunshine!
