Soaking Up Some Sunshine

It's been a roller coaster month here in Southern Ontario, everything from shorts to snow. Any day that has been glorious, I've been stuck indoors having to work, so I haven't truly been able to enjoy any sun that has decided to surface. We've had more than enough rain, and though the wheat in the fields here has loved it, after a while, I just want to be able to get outside.

Well, outside is where I am, thanks to laptop technology, and even though that breeze is cool, I still slipped on a light jacket and am getting some fresh air as I write. I know it's only April, but I did apply sunscreen to my face. Most people, if they were to sit out on the porch like I'm doing, would probably come in with a gentle touch of colour. Not me. I burn. Tanning is something that I've never been able to do, and when I do get a tan, no one believes that I was actually out in the sun. Casper is more tan than I am.

Anyways...

I swear, I almost forgot how glorious it is to just sit on the porch and soak up some sun. Although, when I have reading to do, I'll often come outside to do so. I should really get on my bike too. I've been meaning to do so, but I just haven't got there yet. Besides, I'm an early-morning rider. Come the afternoon, the wind is too strong, as I get hit with it from all sides, and it's generally too hot, though I don't  exactly have to worry about the heat today.

So instead, I thought I'd share how wonderfully Spring-like it is in Southern Ontario. The daffodils are in full bloom, and the wheat in the field has really made its presence known. Also, the trees have erupted with buds. Now if only those willow leaves would hurry up and come out, than we'd know we're well on our way. The breeze is cool but gentle, and I can hear the rumbling of motorcycles (there they are passing by now). Tractors are making their ways back to the fields, and my hair is starting to get its first seasonal kiss from the sun.

Oh, it's a good day to be in my part of Canada. If tomorrow's just as nice, I think we should either all convince our bosses to let us do our work outside, or, just skip on out for a quick sunburn. Happy Spring, everyone. Hopefully now it's here to stay.
