Today I took a long, long walk after school. I wore my Teva sandals for the first time this season and just a t-shirt and khaki pants. No coat necessary. As I walked. the warm breeze created a calmness and gave me hope. Spring is coming. On my drive home, NPR was filled with 1-year ago stories anf the idea that our country is finally getting a handle on this pandemic is in the air. As I walk, nature herself seems to be cheering us on with her lovely springtime weather in Arlington, Virginia.

Sally, the weather does give one a feeling of hope at times. I was out walking yesterday and felt the same thing as I breathed the air and watched the sun setting through the trees. Thank you for sharing this. I love the image that you put with the post as well; it reminds me a bit of my north Alabama landscape.
