it's beginning to look a lot like spring.

despite the fact that it has been quite chilly outside. and ok, i admit the frequent rain showers don't exactly scream spring. still rocking the rainboots... but, the birds are chirping. {even at 2.30am.} the trees have leaves. and the daffodils are blooming. the ratio of sandals to rain jackets is changing slightly, in favor of sandals. it even sometimes smells like fresh-cut grass outside. so, yes, it is starting to look like spring here in seattle. don't believe me? look out your window. there. see that patch of blue in the sky? in the words of mister rogers, "it's a beautiful day in this neighborhood."
