Nearer to Spring than we were

Sunday, February 21, 2010

We took a drive (a very long one) to see our son, and we returned the following day. This day.

When we left, it was gray—nearly purple gray, the skies all fiercely February, and foreboding.

When we returned, it was sun, nearer to spring than to winter.

That kid has a way of changing the seasons.

Oh what fun! We haven't seen our son since Christmas break, but he'll be home for Spring break in a few weeks!

I love the way that you worded this!! I was hopeful that Spring was around the corner today with the warmer temps and sun, but a winter storm is coming in late tonight and will be dumping 6-8 inches of glorious snow!!

I spent the last two evening with my son. It is amazing how they brighten the entire horizon.

So glad you saw you son. Children have a way of changing everything for us, don't they? Beautiful.

Our children do have a way of doing that, don't they. Loved this.
