I woke up late in the morning after a loonnng nights sleep.
I took the dogs out and I was happy to see that for the first time in weeks the step was dry.
So I sat and enjoyed a cigarette while the dogs played in the sun and went about their morning rituals.
I was surprised how warm it was and took a moment to be thankful for such a beautiful day in January!
And then I smelt it..
It was a just a slight sweet clean smell in the air..
Spring?! Is that what that is?
Nooo it's just too early,best not to jump the gun on spring fever.
I know what it is!
Life!
The sweetness of sunshine hitting green grass and making it warm.
The woodsy goodness of beauty bark finally drying after months of rain.
That tiny bit of green left on last year's flowers,reminding us all wasn't lost over winter.
I took a moment to savor it before herding the kids inside.
For me it's also the smell of faith.
Having the faith that spring will eventually come.
Spring hasn't failed to show up yet!? ha ha
A sample of things to come as the rain soaks us for many more months.
Faith to know I will survive it.
