Happiness is everywhere.
It must be the extra tweets the birds are belting out. Oh, yes it is officially Spring. Yesterday was an amazing day and wherever I looked it seems that happiness abounded. Real world & the virtual one.
Bob and I happened to find ourselves in Oberwart to return a library book. We had ten minutes to while away before they opened for the afternoon. Luckily for us, they are situated in town which is littered with coffee shops that sell oodles of ice cream.
When in Rome and all that, saw us sitting on a bench outside the shop, savouring our ice creams. Such a simple thing, sitting and eating ice cream whilst watching the world pass by. Oh, divine. We saw Mums taking their young - uns to get ice cream. Those young kids were so excited about the prospect and almost danced, hopped and skipped to the parlour.
One kid had obviously chosen an exotic combination ( maybe so that no one would try and finish it for him. Yes, Mothers do tend to do that! ) As they passed our bench, all we heard was,
" Are you sure that was a good choice? Chocolate and sour lemon? "
" Oh Mum, you don't understand. "Clever boy, because his Mum wasn't going to eat his ice cream...
The weather played along perfectly and it was so warm that a load of washing dried on the line in about 2 hours. Yes, we had up to 23 degrees. Don't get me wrong, I adore Winter and all that goes with it: Staying indoors and curling up with a book on the couch. Walking in the snow. The festive season and all those yummy Christmas biscuits. Yet, it was a welcome relief to be caressed by the sunshine. It was a relief to only wear a light jacket and to sport normal hair...not hat hair!
Happy Spring Everyone...Or Happy Autumn for those on the other side of the world.
Frank Sinatra always comes to my mind with the words: Spring is Sprung. Here he is a recording of him in Las Vegas in 1966:Amazon.com: You Make Me Feel So Young (Live At The Sands Hotel And Casino/1966)
