I'm feeling awfully content tonight. We just had the sun-shiniest day possible at 85 degrees with a light breeze to keep things comfortable and cooler feeling. Now, at dusk, it is starting to sprinkle and we are meant to have a nice thunderstorm tonight. Could it be a more perfect May Day? I think not. The birds are singing, the air smells like a barbecue and Caelan is fast asleep, drunk on fresh air. Life is sweet.
We spent the entire day outside... up and down the slide, washed both cars, took a wagon ride, a stroller ride, weeded the back patio, watered the garden, etc, etc. I love this time of year.
With just a little over a month until the school year ends, I can see the summer light at the end of the tunnel and it is bright and glorious. I cannot wait for our summer trips to Asheville and Hilton Head and I cannot wait for all of the time that we get to spend together. Marrying another teacher was the best decision ever. Hooray for family togetherness!
I think I'm going to 'unplug' now and enjoy the sounds of spring with my eyes closed for a moment. The windows are open and birds are desperate to sing to me. So needy.
Today I am thankful for my senses; for the ability to see, smell, taste, touch and hear all that nature has to offer this time of year.
