I haven’t blogged in a few days. As a matter of fact, I have been pretty scarce from Twitter too. But, I haven’t been super busy with school or family obligations. I haven’t been working on the budget that needs to be finished or the homework that is waiting for me. Nothing like that at all. But my reasons for neglecting social media and my blog are better.
I have been enjoying the taste of Spring we have had here lately. It was so nice this weekend that we were able to get outside and do things. Yesterday, the kids and I went for a walk and played in the backyard… for hours! I have been doing things besides sitting here on this computer and it feels great. Since Thursday, I have walked at a minimum of 1 mile each day. Yesterday, I walked two miles plus whatever I normally do throughout the day.
It feels so good to get outside with the kids. So good, in fact, that I am praying for Spring to come. I love the fresh air, the warmth of the sun, the sound of my babies little feet stomping through the grass. I love to see the squirrels who frequent my backyard tree and my dog, Sammi, excited to chase them. I love to hear the birds chirp and the geese flying overheard, heading back to the area after the long, cold winter. I can hear the cows from the nearby farm during the day and the sounds of kids playing in the neighborhood. The sounds and feelings of Spring are the best so…
All I have to say to Mother Nature is this… Bring on Spring!

I am so ready for spring as well! It was warm enough for me to actually eat lunch outside. The fresh air felt so good! I also like that it’s starting to still be light outside when I leave work. Yay for daylight!

Oh yes! I love when it stays light longer. 🙂

Thanks Stefany for stopping by my blog. It is so nice to have people leave comments and share. I so wish we could have spring, but here in northern Minnesota it’s a ways away still. We do have some snow melting though and the air feels fresh and I saw the gold finches were back so it’s a start.
Take care and have a blessed evening. Off to read a bit more here and there.
