small talk: spring

As the temperatures soar above 50 and everyone pulls out their flip-flops and shorts, I find myself a bit resistant to spring. I'm trying to focus on the little events I love: new buds on bushes and trees, wearing sandals, opening the storm windows, going to farmers' markets again. I'm even doing a little spring cleaning. I've sorted through my old clothes and shoes to reduce the clutter and I'm finding all sorts of old stuff. I'm not terribly excited to clean the closets because the enormous hair balls and dust gives me sneezing fits, but they are way too full.
