happy to be outside

the weather as of late has been heavenly. reasons why like spring:

1. i no longer have to sprint like a mad person from car to house to avoid the cold.
2. i like walking around with my shoulders not close to my ears.
3. it's good running weather minus the slushy and muddy trails.
4. everything green and beautiful is about to bloom.
5. i like not wearing a winter jacket with all the accessories like mittens, a hat, and a scarf.

this past week we took our first walk outside for the spring season. it was wonderful. then on friday afternoon i was able to stroll around uptown with my friend Courtney. it's always fun chatting with her. then later that night curt and i enjoyed a chinese dinner in Excelsior and a frozen treat at Adele's Custard shop.
