At sunset this evening it was warm enough to take our walk in short sleeves.
Smells vividly wafted out of yards and houses as we passed by. It seemed like all the plants were releasing their scent to the warm spring air. Someone was barbecuing meat, another was running their drier with a very fragrant drier sheet, the houses with little backyard farms smelled like...eh, backyard farms.
The sky was so pink. And as we turned a corner to go from eastbound to south, we were amazed by the fiery sunset to our right. A man was standing on top of his house looking at it too. The smell of a marginally legal substance trailed down to the street from his perch.
Distant traffic, dogs scolding us as we passed by, and crunching leaves under our feet were the background music to my husband's voice as he spilled out hopes, dreams and plans for the year of ministry ahead of him. If you ever want to hear what's in his head, just put on your tennies and head out for a walk beside him.
Spring is a time for new beginnings and fresh starts, renewal of hope and a new spark of energy.
Here's to spring.

The sunset was beautiful. I missed most of it, but happened to catch a glace of some cotton candy balls that were hovering in the sky this evening. ^_^
To spring indeed.
