"Ma Nature's lyrical with her yearly miracle...spring, spring, spring!!!"

....Okay, maybe not. But a girl can dream, right? This morning I woke up all comfy cozy in bed, and there was so much light coming in through my curtains that I thought for sure it was a sunny, spring-like day...my heart was warmed at the thought. A smile lit my face, as I was filled with thoughts of bright green grass, and warm breezes, and the smell of sunshine...I joyously hopped out of bed, ran to the windows, tore open the curtains and...
four inches of snow. Figures.

So I needed some springy inspiration today.

magical, beautiful, wonderful days.


I know a lot of people who every year say something along the lines of "I'm moving to Florida!! I'm done with the snow!"
And while the snow can get tiresome as it piles up more and more by the minute...I'd never want to live in any other climate. Because without the dreariness of winter, there'd be no spring to look forward to...and what would life be without that?
:)


By the way...can any of you name what musical the title is from? If you can, I'll love you forever. But let's face it. I kind of already do ;D

  4. I JUST finished watching Seven Brides for Seven Brothers but a few days ago and have had that song stuck in my head for a while! It does my heart good to know there are other kindred spirits out there who appreciate it as well!
