It's spring...

part of the mural at the Philbrook

It's the most delicious morning.
I woke up a bit ago. No alarm, no place I needed to be, nothing particular I needed to do.
I stayed in that sleepy haze for a while, enjoying the blue tinged room, watching the light turn from gold-edged to bright white.
Stretching and feeling the soft cotton sheets against my skin.
Thinking that I still have five days left of spring break.
Smiling.

Sloane is still sleeping soundly; she never sleeps this late.
We made plans last night for today.
We will spend the morning reading and the afternoon playing.
I think I might take her out on a girlfriend date to a tea room.
Then to the bookstore for a special treat. Or two.

Just now, I can hear the birds singing, and
feel the breeze coming through the open windows.
The house smells fresher, alive.
I can see trees starting to flower.
It's spring. It's spring and all is right with the world.

Beautiful thoughts. Relaxation leads to such a wonderful sense of clarity, doesn't it? Enjoy your day.

indeed, spring does seem to be really here; I saw a fat robin on my walk a few minutes ago. :)

Your words sing also from my heart. Spring time gives me such hope for days of sunshine. Did you visit the tea room? I do hope so.

your buttery soft words
so full of warm sunshine
and those beautiful frocks
on the dancers
make me daffodil glad:)

It all sounds magical, my dear! I hope your special date with Sloane was memorable and delightful. What could be better than tea and a book (or two)! Hope the rest of your break is as wonderful. xo – g

I've had one heck of a time springing forward -- seems I never want to get out of bed! Love the graphic you chose for this! How lovely to have a break right when you need it most!
