It's coming, yesterday was proof!

Oh, how I love Spring and Summer, and have been looking forward to them since it officially became Fall!  It is so bad, that I even have Preston believing that winter is no good, and he will occasionally throw me a bone, and tell me he doesn't like winter either! 

Yesterday was a perfect day.  It was like God knew that we needed a reprieve from all this bitter cold and snow, and wrapped up a nice beautiful sixty degree day and plopped it on our doorstep.  Right after Phil failed to see his shadow, so only 6 more weeks until Spring!  It made me giddy!  I had to go down to my mom's in Staunton to pick up some boxes from her, so I thought we would make a day of it, and feed the ducks at the park in Staunton. 

It was gorgeous out. Preston fed himself and the ducks, although the swans were his favorite and he only wanted to let them eat. I didn't even worry about the mud. Preston had such fun running out his energy, and breathing in the fresh air.  We even took the long way out of the park to leave our windows all the way down just a little longer.  I didn't want the day to end. I wish we could have stayed in the warmer sunny air until it was time for the seventy, eighty and ninety degree days when we will sit around at the pool all afternoon. 

When we got home, I was so ready for summer, and long days at the pool, I asked Preston if he wanted to sign up for swim lessons again this year. Of course, since he doesn't truly remember the money we wasted last year pleading with him to do what his teacher asked, he was thrilled at the idea!  I called the pool this morning to sign up, and lo and behold, they haven't started lessons yet, but I am only two weeks early. 

Of course it seemed that as quickly as the wonderful day came, in came the blistering cold winds, wiping away any trace of spring.  Nothing would make me happier than to see all the snow melt, and have it be done until the next Christmas. By the time Brandon and I got home from our date night, we were freezing again, and I was wishing for summer again.  Soon, it will be here soon.
