Spring sunlight streams hope through my kitchen window. I used to love all seasons equally. That is no longer true. I no longer like Winter. I like some winterish things, but the season as a whole weighs me down. The harder the Winter, the more I delight in the coming of Spring. This Spring is still colder than I’d like, we still freeze almost every night, but the sun carries some warmth now. Even better, my Spring bulbs have emerged and some are even starting to bloom. It makes me want to get outside.
Unfortunately while the advent of Spring lifts my spirits, it doesn’t make my schedule any less busy. So I look wistfully out my windows as I pass. I did get outside one day this week, but then I remembered that next week is my trip to Ad Astra in Toronto Canada and there are approximately a million things I want to get done before I go. About half of those things have to do with actually cleaning up my house so that it will be nice to come back to. Fortunately Kiki has panned a sleep over with friends for this evening. The festivities are contingent upon her helping me get everything clean and ready. Kiki is an excellent worker when she is motivated.
