A little bit of spring

Spring is coming! It's really coming! It is 6 C this afternoon and I wore my rubber boots to go walking with the dog. I was dry and warm and Felix, the white dog, was half brown and gritty with soot and cold. He loved his warm sitz bath afterwards. I feel so rejuvenated by the fresh air and the experience of the clean blue sky and the birds pecking the red berries off the mountain ash tree. I notice how this little bit of spring in the air gives me life and uplifts my spirits. I feel like organizing or cleaning something now. Of course after the cup of tea I've brewed and the blessing of bread that I received from a friend early this morning!
