Spring?

The weather has been very spring-like lately.  It is a nice change from the cold snow we have had all winter.  I was even happy to see rain this week as it meant it was warm enough to not be snowing and it was melting the snow on the ground.  Yesterday the sun was shining and I headed outside with only a vest.  Since we have been so busy Jason and I had been looking forward to an easy relaxing weekend but with the sun shining I had a hard time relaxing.  I kept feeling like I should be outside doing something to enjoy the beautiful weather.  Fortunately i have a good friend, Emily, who lives close by who called me to go for a walk.  It was great idea as it gave me something to do that was also very relaxing.  I headed out for a a few mile walk with my friend.  It was nice to be able to walk through the woods in the sunshine and just chat.  Since the weather was so nice we decided to head back to our house and have a cup of coffee while sitting on the patio.  It gives me hope for the coming spring and summer and all the fun we will have in our yard this year.  While Emily and I were chatting, Jason decided the day was too beautiful to waste too and he took the girls and Watson on a walk in the woods as well.  I dropped Emily off at home and headed to the grocery store to pick up a couple things I needed to make sushi.  When I got home I found Jason cutting limbs off a tree in our backyard.  I guess he was seeing the enjoyment of spring and summer in our future as well and wanted to clear a few branches from our view of the surrounding area that we have from our patio.
