I smell it

Stars are a twinkling outside... this time of the year is a time for all northern (ish) states to start waking up.  As much as it would be wonderful to live in a forever warm climate,  I think I'd miss some of the anticipation for beautiful weather. 

I really really enjoy walking out the door without a pile of coat/hat/scarf etc.   The smell of fresh, damp earth, and warm wind make my windows come up.  In the summer, sitting on the porch at twilight, listening to cicadas showing off their sounds, is one of the most satisfying ways to end the day.  And when spring finally comes, though at first it might decide to be all moody and hail  (like today), I'll probably decide to fondly remember winter.   :)
