I never really fully realized how much one could long for the sun in these dreary spring days. Sometimes we go for weeks without even seeing the sun’s beautiful face! Snow in April, rain in June, but never sun! I suppose that comes from living in Washington, sigh. I write this now with wistful longing for those summer days full of WARM afternoons, reading in the shade of the old willow tree that lays outside my room, waiting with anticipation for the annoying ice cream truck to ring out its song and sipping ice cold lemonade to my heart’s content. But sadly those days are for the past and the distant future. Right now all I can do is hope that tomorrow may finally bring the sun.
