Ah, Spring!

Though we are several weeks into winter,

and though the days are getting longer by a couple

of minutes each day, spring seems so very far away.

Come, Spring! I long to sit in the shade on the deck,

to ride the lawn mower and smell the freshly cut grass,

to take a motorcycle ride through the countryside,

to enjoy the color of spring flowers, and to shed jackets and gloves.

It would be lovely to admit the fresh air into the house

through the open windows.

Ah, well! Just a few more weeks until it's officially spring.
