On the eve of the vernal equinox, I saw my first Robin Redbreast of the season. I didn’t realize how much I needed spring to arrive until that moment.
I look forward to seeing flowers bloom all around me, but I am not looking forward to the allergies that come with those flowers.
I look forward to the spring rains, which nourish the flowers and bring my grass back to green, but I am not looking forward to the landscaper bills and indoor recesses that come with those rains.
I look forward to more extended daylight and lengthening days into evenings, but I am not looking forward to the spring fever that distracts me on those lighter evenings.
I look forward to the MLB opening day, but I am not looking forward to the ups and downs of following my favorite team (The Phillies).
To be honest, I am looking forward to everything spring has to offer, and I will try to take the other inconveniences in stride. I need spring. I need sunlight. I need hope.

Yes, we all need spring and the promise of warmth that it brings. It is not lost to me that the Pandemic as well as our current soci-political situation have both occurred at the start of spring……

This post is something very similar I would write today (but, I haven’t written yet — so maybe still could?). Either way, the appreciation for the extra light, the birds, the warmth — is like a giant exhale. Looking forward to more lovely weather!
