Hello, April. You bring with you a long awaited Spring school break and the Easter Bunny too. The light and shadows are already changing. They have been as March was drawing to a close and that will continue to progress since we “sprung forward” this past weekend.
We’re ready for for the fuller days of light you will bring as we truly come out from under the cozy blanket of winter. I watch the light dance around the room in new spots where it wasn’t glowing at that time the previous week. We’re ready for the Japanese magnolias to begin to fully blossom and unfurl their pink blooms. A favourite street of mine is lined with them and they are a glorious sea of pink. We’re ready to dye our Easter Eggs and for the Easter Bunny to fill our basket with chocolate goodies and maybe a surprise or two.
We’re ready to do more “Spring Cleaning” and tick a few jobs off our organisation list. Slowly and surely we’ve been making our way around the house, deep cleaning and organising and it brings me such utter satisfaction and joy to see a space made anew and refreshed.
We’re ready for longer strolls where it’s spring in the sun but still winter under the shade. We’re ready to watch the tadpoles grow at one of our favourite ponds. Last week, a number of them had already hatched. We’re ready to drink in all that you have to offer. We’re ready for you, April with arms open wide.
