Spring Means (Detroit Style)

Spring means . . .

no mo' snow (we hope)
baseball
brats (b-r-a-w-t-s) with lots of ketchup
cantaloupe
lemonade
Tigers baseball games with Kara
Saturday afternoons at the park
bike rides
long walks with Kara
waking up to the songs of birds
no mo' snow
resurrection
long Sundays in Cass Park
evening strolls to the ice cream store
mowing the lawn
March Madness
triathlons
softball on Thursday and Saturday nights
new life
my birthday
weeds
NBA playoffs
sunsets
mosquitoes (I used to be allergic)
the arrival of Lucas
no mo' snow (we hope)

Most of all, spring means new life. This has been a rough winter for Detroiters (urbanites and suburbanites). The news is packed with gloom and more gloom. The arrival of spring is a glimmer of hope that the future is full of new possibilities.

We're praying for our Michigan Family here in Tennessee. Abundant joy to you all.

p.s. Welcome to 30! You'll soon notice it ain't that bad ;-)

this is my absolute favorite time of year, I can't wait to get to some Tigers games, cookout and play in my garden!
