Spring Weather

I don't think any season is more invigorating than spring. While summer will remain my favorite season (I love the sun! And the heat! And all the plants!), spring just has this energy about it. You walk outside on a gorgeous spring day, and you are suddenly happy. Today is 80 degrees in the DC metro area, and I'm once again trapped in my cube on the 8th floor of a large office building. Away from any windows.

To celebrate the season, I joined a few coworkers in walking down to a nearby ice cream store. That half hour break from the office was pure bliss. The birds were singing! There were cute puppies to be petted! The cherry blossoms were shedding their petals and it was like walking through a glorious fairytale wedding.

Think good thoughts on this weather continuing through the weekend. It's selfish of me to hope that the rain holds off, but I need to hit up Farmer's Market tomorrow morning and want to transplant several of my seedlings to get them ready for their new garden home. Oh, and overseed my lawn, which should have been done a month ago except for all the rain.
