12: Summer-tired...

This afternoon
our street
wiggled
with kids
running
biking
screaming
playing chase
picking up the little chunks of stubborn snow
giggling
throwing
pushing
skipping
jumping
diving
driving the toys they desperately missed
over the long, cold winter months

This afternoon
our street
bursted
with moms
pushing strollers
congregating in yards
chatting with neighbors
watching kids lessen energy stores
putting off dinner prep
running around the block
driving with the windows down
sporting the sunglasses, flip-flops they desperately missed
over the long, cold winter months

Everyone
drinking in the warmth
all 67 degrees
basking in the sun
delighting in the breeze's promise
of more days full of -ing to come
eating late
heading to bed
summer-tired

Write on,
b

  1. There is nothing like the first warm day after a rough winter. I think we all tried to enjoy it to its fullest. Remember there are more to come.

  2. This scene played out all across the country as the warm breeze blew in. It's good to get a taste of summer to come.
