You Can Smell It In The Air
Close your eyes and inhale deeply through your nose. Ah yes, there you go. Can you smell it (come on, I know you can) -- rain, green, earth...Spring!! Ok, now open your eyes. Ouch!! It doesn't quite look like Spring yet, but I know it is coming. I took a walk at lunch today and saw some flowers (ok, green stalks) poking their little heads out of the earth and snow. And there was a little girl in the library today with a pretty green flowered shirt and multicolored skirt (a woodland fairy displaying her message of spring).
To get yourself in the spirit, take a look at Martha Stewart Living March issue. It's all about gardening. And watch the film Enchanted April. The movie starts in dreary rainy London and "reawakens" in sunny Italy. Perhaps if I close my eyes for a few moments, sunny skies, flowers and yards of color will appear when I open them.
