Yesterday was our first day over 39F in weeks. The sun was shining, and I kept feeling like there was an important thought I had forgotten. I was racking my brain like a child shaking the last coin out of a piggy bank, all in efforts to remember the forgotten piece. While I never remembered what I forgot, I knew the world was thawing.
There is a constant drip-drip from the roofs; the snow and ice sheets on the streets are turning into streams. It was like Narnia after the winter curse is broken.
As the sun re-emerges, my mind can’t help but wander toward spring. I keep dreaming of a spring walk through Oyster Bay.
You just feel it in the air. We’ve tilted the scales of winter toward spring. It’s inevitable.
What will spring usher in?
More skirts- sheer is fun.
Shoes that aren’t boots- and colorful socks!
Cooler matchas– with fruit flavors.
Button down shirts- also bringing more color.
Sunglasses return- because it won’t be dark 24/7.
Brighter blush- the more color the better.
What are you looking forward to as we soon start to descend into a new season?
