Today our temperatures hit the 40’s! Yahoo!!! Yippee!! I so loved it. Although I felt crappy and exhausted because of this terrible cold, I couldn’t help but enjoy a few spare moments soaking in the sun. The few minutes I got helped to make me feel a little better.

Once I got home from school I changed into my comfortable clothes, which included a black Maine sweatshirt. I got supper started then went to enjoy a little of the sunshine. I love sitting on the steps of my back porch soaking up the sun. The back of our house gets most of the sun; in the summer, it shines from midmorning until it sets in the evening. It’s a great place for a garden and also where we’ve placed our greenhouse. That’s what I enjoy about our home, the constant sunshine. The front of our house hardly gets any sun, just a few hours in the wee hours of the morning in the summer, and that’s it.

Well, while I’m sitting on the back porch, the boys are in their ski pants, winter jackets, and boots enjoying what we still have for snow and Hubby is chopping the ice that we still have on our bricks. The ice is a little more than an inch thick, but it’s quite slushy because of the warm temperatures. There’s finally no wind, so I don’t even feel chilly sitting outside without a jacket. It felt so refreshing breathing in the fresh air and feeling the warmth soak into my skin. Too bad I couldn’t stay longer. Duty calls, there’s supper to finish, laundry to do, and floors to clean. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll find a little more time to sit outside. It’s suppose to be warmer than today. I do believe that spring has sprung (cliché and I know).
