Spring
Spring sprang, and in Texas that means we have a new season: Sprummer. Spring in Texas is fickle when it comes to temperature. It can be sweltering in the 90’s one day and jacket weather in the 50’s the next. Some days the weather is absolutely beautiful – somewhere in the low to mid-70’s with a light breeze, birds singing, butterflies flitting around, flowers waking from their winter slumber. Other days pollen flies out everywhere coating cars, buildings, and lungs as it races around on heavy winds, with bees chasing to keep up and hang on to the flowers. And then there are rainy days, which wash the air clear again, giving life to the grasses and flowers and grains, and trees. Ah, Spring has sprung once again!
And along comes Covid-19.
Shelter in place.
We can go for walks, and walk the dogs. We can go to parks – as long as we stay 6 feet away from each other, but basically no large groups. Like a lot of people have heeded that directive. Just when people want to get out and enjoy the Earth awakening after a long slumber during Winter. Break out the shorts and tank tops and running shoes and sandals, suntan lotion and beach towels and volleyball nets, grills and picnic tables. All for the backyard. Shelter in place. Break out the lemonade and iced tea dear, and join me as we reacquaint ourselves to each other and our yard and life before the rat race became the Indianapolis 9000. De-stress. Work from home. It’s really quiet unless you have kids that need schooling. Stress. Cabin fever. And it’s SPRING. Life just so happens.
It’s Spring.
With a twist.
