The simple taste of sunshine

This weekends lovely display of sun has started up the engines that lie idle in the winter months.... A crank, hiccup and then the roar of imagining how to spend my wonderful warm days...

Perhaps on our forays into the backroads and hidden trails in search of treasure this summer, I may find a rock suitable for sunning myself. It must be a large rock.. smooth and friendly, with a dip on the top. Once found, I will return there many times over to absorb the suns rays and let my bones and muscles lengthen and loosen and feel even the teensiest bit close to their former glory. That is the treasure I seek.

But what we will likely find is many afternoons together, sharing a bagged lunch and communal water bottle. Giggles at who finds the treasure first, wildflowers plucked for hair decorations, discussions over what tracks go with what animals. Stumbling across the wild berry bushes for an unexpected natural dessert.

Time will be spent recklessly, with wild abandon, with each other. AHHHHHH.......come on with it, I am ready for you summer!
