Ahhhhh - life returns!

[L Sass]

I find it amazing what a glorious day of bright sunshine and nice temps can do this time of year. Here in NE Ohio it is a day of dreams! Wall to wall sunshine, emerging flowers, the leaves on my white oak are drying and falling to new buds (that tree keeps its leaves all winter long and they wither and fall in the sping). DH and the kids have pulled out their fishng rods and are fishing in the pond, and we saw a turtle climb up out of the water to go and sun himself. The smell, the sounds, the sights! Wherever you are today, I hope you get to experience this return of life and suck it up! Enjoy your fit day.

What a lovely, sunshiney post, Lorrie. It's a glorious spring day here in north central PA too. DH, DGS and I are hoping to get out into the fresh air this afternoon.

That sounds wonderful! It's supposed to be about 90 today here in Southern California! And it's a bit windy! Hopefully that'll die down soon.

It's a beautiful, sunny day in Chicago. It was great to be playing tennis in shorts this morning.

I'm from northeast Ohio and remember how special the first warm sunny days were after a long, snowy, gray winter.

Enjoy the weekend, everyone.

A-Jock checking in gratefully from the Minnesota Twin Cities. Sunny, temps in the high 50's already and promising to get to mid-60's (an unbelievable accomplishment for April 18th in our world), the weeping willows are already starting to green up as is the grass, and DH has seen more than his share of robin redbreasts. Also, within the past week I myself have started to see my beloved early morning bunnies nibbling on the grass - that is my own personal Sign Of Spring.

I normally am in the middle of my aqua nosebleed workout at the gym this time of day on a Saturday but I was exiled (gym closed for remodeling). So I compensated by doing one of my favorite Cathe custom mixes that contained all of the Body Max 1/2 and CTX power cardio blasts as well as HSTA power blasts, LIC power blasts, 4DS-BC step blasts and a fair sprinkling of I-Max 2/3 power blasts as well, followed up by another Cathe custom ab mix and about 45 minutes of lighter, 22.5-lb upper body work.

Color and light return to the world!

Have a springy day, people!

Lori,

You described today perfectly. It was a tough winter here in the Northeast. Today is so beautiful and I am so ready to enjoy it

Have a nice day everyone

Here at my home, this gorgeous day is packed with laundry on the wash line (LOVE the smell of it when wearing the clothes or laying in bed), smells of my freshly-mowed lawn, sounds of the boys in the back yard on the dirt pile making more mud creations, and just general overall HAPPINESS!

Welcome, SPRING!

Here in CA

We are on the verge of summer temperatures. It was 85 deg. Its been so sunny I'm nursing a mild sun burn. I'm pulling weeds. I'm planting flowers and tomato vines. I just bought a new orchid at the festival today. Its purple and not too big, just perfect for next to my white phaleos. My brother is mowing the lawn. The flowers are all in bloom. Pollen, oh my!

Lorrie - I am in NE Ohio as well. It was a beautiful day! I went to the gym (I have a three day/week membership) and it was empty! Everyone must have been outside. I just love it.
