It doesn’t take much to make me happy: sitting on my front porch, feet propped up, watching a flock of goldfinches – back to their bright yellow summer plumage once more – at my birdfeeder; the American flag out of storage and whipping wildly in the breeze for the first time this season (thanks to my helpful husband); the tingling rhythm of the windchimes, a tall, frosty glass of iced tea, and the thermometer climbing to 80 degrees under a nearly-cloudless sky.
Ah…it’s so good to be in shirtsleeves, minus bulky winter sweatshirts and socks. Thank you, Lord, for this glorious day! May there be many more to follow. It’s so relaxing, I think I’ll take a nap…

Hi Judy, It was so hot here yesterday I couldn’t stand it. Today there is a nice breeze going so I don’t mind it. I was sitting out back just smelling my lilacs..oh how good they smell. My backyard is my little bit of paradise. I am so happy for spring time, its my favorite time of year. Enjoy

Hi Gloria – I know it’s sometimes hard to adjust when unseasonable temperatures hit, but I had such a long, cold, snowy winter that the sun and warmth felt great. It’s cooler today, and I’m afraid tomorrow will be back to more seasonable temps – in the low to mid 60s.
