L.........onging for spring

By this time of year, the long, cold, snowy winter begins to be tiresome and I long for the warmer south winds, the bright spring flowers, and the joy of stepping outside without a warm jacket. Actually, we look forward to stepping outside and not having to watch our step for icy patches! Here, near Lake Michigan, our springs are cool, but are a welcome relief. Last year, a little friend of mine stopped to pose and smell the flowers outside our home. I wish you all the joy of smelling the cheerful flowers this year!
