Waiting for Spring

3/26/2015

0 Comments

 
I love winter. Those that know me, know this about me. And if they didn’t before this statement, they do now.

But what I think that gets overlooked is that I like other seasons as well. I don’t only love winter. I like the other seasons as well.

I like spring and the rain it brings. I miss the fact that my daughters can go out and run around without coats. I miss the sounds of birds. After seeing brown snow for the last month, I miss the green that follows.

Running around without coats. And green grass.

I am ready for spring to arrive. 

I am ready to go outside and be active once again. Over the winter, I felt as if my body were wasting away. So in order to combat this feeling, I had to go out and buy a chin up bar.

I miss being able to clean our car (both inside and out). The back seat is… unsanitary is the closest word I can think of. It has been my two oldest daughters’ personal space since the fall, and I’m not about to vacuum the car in 10 degree weather.

This needs to happen, but it sure won't be happening today.

I went outside yesterday to take some pictures for an interview on a blog, and I thought… I miss shooting my bow.

Over the winter, we bought our girls bows, and I will be teaching them to shoot as well. These are things you can’t do with several feet of snow on the ground. That's another reason why I’m ready for spring.

This is what we're dealing with. It's not fun trying to find a missed arrow in the snow.

My wife said, “Oh, now you’re tired of the winter.” I said, “No, all I ask is for summer to be summer, winter to be winter, spring to be spring, and fall to be fall.”

You see, I don’t like warm days in January or cold days in the summer (though I don’t like really, really hot days ever.)

So, with that being said. Spring can come. I think I am ready for it.
