ReplyDeleteThese are nice choices--"soft serve, skinned knees," etc. to convey the onset of spring. (And you saved the best for last! )
ReplyDeleteNext step: in the garden:-)
ReplyDeleteEnvy you the proper bike path: we have to fight it out with the cars. Many's the broken collar bone when yet again they take their berth not wide enough.
We still have snow on our mountains. Making love with the windows open ~~ perfection. Better yet, a screened porch.
ReplyDeletethis gives me the tingles...lovely.
ReplyDeleteChartreuse, huh? More than the he effect of young buds? Bring some of that fairy dust here!
ReplyDeleteit IS the young buds that turn the mountain chartreuse... and soon it will be green.
Deletei LOVE the chartreuse days. :)
Yes, the air on skin through the open window. Ahhh...
ReplyDeleteOpen window - and listen to the hissy roar of traffic on the bypass? I'll stick with double glazing and a chilly night, thanks! lol
ReplyDeleteSounds like a well-rounded day (great ending).
ReplyDeleteFeels like summertime's coming round again.
ReplyDeleteI really like the

ReplyDeleteHank
that's right, year in, year out. thank you, Hank.
DeleteAs my father used to say, "Hooray! Hooray! The first of May! Outdoor (kissing) starts today!" Only he didn't say "kissing..." A la Ralphie, "Only I didn't say fudge..."
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the windows open... the curtains, too? Or is that a bit much?!
Feeling frisky after this one! Amy
hah, i have never heard that!
DeleteAmy...that is too funny, my dad had some of the same little songs where the words got shifted a bit for rating...lol. Marian, you just caprured it all in brilliant visuals and those little feelings that make life worth living. Smeall that lavender babyluv...don't close the window yet.
ReplyDeleteAh, spring, and all that it brings! You've certainly summed it up beautifully, Marian.

ReplyDeletethank you, friends.
YES! to all but the sandal burn!
ReplyDeleteSplendid! Once we opened the window too much and the cat leaned on the screen and fell out!!
