a bright new day

Today is just a wonderful day. It is bright and sunny. and warm. It is so nice to not be cold. for it to be clear. blue skies. the sun is shining, its rays warming my back. The breeze playing with my hair, brings the smells of freshly laid mulch and blooming flowers. Spring is upon us. the trees are in bloom with their tiny little budding leaves, their limbs filling up with blossoms, some of them come off in the breeze and slowly float to the ground. Daffodils are out, tulips and crocuses are slowly starting to poke their leaves out of the mulch and dirt. This sort of weather, the beginning of spring, the transition from the cold and the bleak, is a part of the year that i really enjoy. The sun makes everyone happier, bringing everyone out of their rooms to spend time outside. boys in hammocks napping with books on their chests, intentions of studying lost in a nap in the sun. everyone is either play on the lawn or hanging out under the trees. frisbees are flying. girls are laughing. There are even some studious ones sitting on benches reading. The sun is piercing through the clouds, which are few and far between, just shining brightly. everything is green, colors are popping out everywhere. this season of growth, this bright day and new weather is just refreshing. It makes me just want to go put on a flowing dress and walk through the warm breeze, barefoot, sun on my face, and not a care in the world.
