It’s a good day to throw your arms up and say yeah

I was able to get out and walk both Loca and Tin today as the weather warmed up a little and I was working on something early and wasn’t able to take Loca out on schedule. Spring is coming – I feel it in my sinuses as much as in my soul and all I have to say is Amen – we are sick of the cold and I could have just kicked Punxsutawney Phil right back into his hole when I heard that he had seen his shadow. I read that this has been the warmest winter on record which confirms climate warming and yet it feels like the coldest to me.

When we were at the Big Lake in City Park, school kids from Metairie Academy were having a picnic on the lawn banks of the lake while seagulls were looking to snatch whatever they could from the peanut butter sandwiches. [I should not complain about winter when school was cancelled in NY due to snow today.] Tin threw his hand up and said “Ah, Bah, Dah, Ah, Uh, Ca” – I think what he meant to say is this:

Wow, look what a gorgeous day it is and I haven’t heard the wind chimes in a while since Mom went back to work and look at all the seagulls and kids and one day we’ll take one of those little boats out and I will sit here and have a picnic lunch!
