I didn’t realize until it actually got warm here for the first time this spring….I had forgotten what it feels like to be warm. I mean…to really be warm. To wear bare feet and skirts. To welcome the cool breeze. To feel the sun beating down and to soak up all its energy.
I had forgotten the smell of sunshine. The baby sun screen and fresh cut grass. Meat cooking on a grill.
I had forgotten the sights of the warm days. The deep blue sky. Sweaty, curly hair sticking out from under his hat. Squinty eyes and glare off of windows. Green leaves everywhere, and colorful flowers too.
Ahh…it’s so good to have it back…if only for a few days!
I’ll set a calendar reminder to write “how it feels to be cold” this autumn. 🙂
