Spring Fever

I am getting Spring Fever big time.  I know what you are thinking, "Oh great another post about how much Kris hates winter, the cold, ect. ect. ect.  Didn't she already write about this once today?"  Yes, I did, but that is just how bad it is.

Today I even looked up when my favorite farmer's market gets started.  APRIL 1!!!!  It seems so far away!  I just miss the simple things like not having to put on 12 layers of clothes to get the mail, walking out of the house without playing 'who hid their glove behind the hall tree,' the feeling of the sun on my bare arms, getting in the shower and not having the water hurt my feet at first because my near frozen capillaries burst open under the sudden warmth, ect. ect. ect.

The sun is out now, which helps a little.  Of course that is totally tempered by the fact that I have to go to a boring meeting tonight filled with people I don't particularly like, but those are comments that I will not share with the world until such time as they do not come back to bite me in the butt.

I dream of sun, warmth and feeling the grass under my feet.  Not having to fold a mountain of socks because we tend to wear a lot of sandals in the winter.  Relaxed schedules.  Fireflies.  Eating outside (one of my favorites).  Going to the pool.  Food cooked on the grill.  The color green as far as the eye can see.  I love it all.

Tell me what you love about summer.  Or tell me I'm crazy and give me a reason to love winter.
