So long ICE - Welcome Spring!

Winter gave us hopefully one last blast of raw cold and wind this past weekend.   And of course, my son had an outdoor soccer game on Sunday evening - the temperature was 32 and the wind chill temperature was 20.   As is well documented, I do not like winter for obvious reasons - & so I complained.   But I must say - I enjoyed the moment - even if it was the coldest I've been in a long time, if ever.     This time last year, I was in-between eye surgeries in February and April, so there would have been no way my eye could have taken all that wind.    So this year - I LIVED the moment.  It was a memory created.

There are just a few little clumps of snow left that had once been 8 foot mountains.   Last week, in the start of the slow melt-off, my son decided he had to enjoy this winter in an unlikely way.   As much as I begged him to come inside, I was doubled over in laughter and tears.  He is such a joy.   I had to snap a picture.  Perhaps it will bring a smile to your face.  Yes, that's him in slippers, shorts, no shirt, artist's hat and snowballs in each hand.  It was his tribute to hopefully the last snow & ice of winter and a welcome to spring!  Another moment and memory captured.

So now, I'm starting to see just a tinge of green in some of the tops of the trees.  A good sign!   Spring Break is coming upon us and the little family will be taking a little excursion to visit some friends in a warmer part of the country.   Temperatures are to be near 80 & sunny most the time.    Ahhhh - absolutely perfect for this body!    Sunglasses weather which I LOVE!   (Topic to be discussed in a future post!)    Last year, I didn't get to make the trip with the hubby & son since I was still too much in "recoup mode" from the February surgery as well as, "getting ready for the next surgery mode" for the April surgery.   THIS year I am absolutely going to savor the moment and create some more memories! 

Hope warmer weather is headed your way too.   ICE be gone!  ;)
