Even though the weathermen
say a serious cold snap is coming,
we were reminded today
of the joys of spring.
Temperatures above-freezing
were welcomed with open arms!
I had to dig out my sunglasses,
jump over puddles in the
once-snowy streets,
and even rolled down
my car window
for a breath of fresh air.
These are all minor miracles
when it’s mid-winter
in the Midwest.
Then, when I stopped by
my parents’ house,
I was greeted by these
gorgeous tulips,
my favorite flower.
Spring may not arrive here
for several months,
but I was grateful
for today’s free preview.
