I see the light!!

There have been signs around us that spring is coming. Every day on the way home from school we stop at multiple flower beds and see how many tulips have started coming up. They have the beds covered in evergreen branches acting as a sort of mulch, I assume, so we can't see all of the tulips that are coming up but we can see the ones on the edges of the flower beds. The girls really enjoying finding them. Tulips are such a sign of spring to me as well that I love seeing them. What really shouted SPRING to me though was when I went for my run on Monday it was light enough out to run in the park. I don't run through the park in the winter since it is too dark. I stick to the sidewalks on the roads where there are street lights and cars going by during the winter. I know that odds are I would be fine running in the park in the dark but I just feel safer in the light. So, when I went for my run on Monday I started out on my winter route and then realized it was light out. I was so excited I quickly changed routes and headed to the park. I hadn't realized how much I had missed running in the park. Watson likes the park as well since he can be off leash for a much longer period than when I just run the roads. I am happy that spring is coming. Living in a city and not being able to ski makes for a long winter!
