today was the first day we've reached 60 degrees, and it actually got up to 70. AMAZING.
i wore sandles to my meeting this morning. and just a cardigan. no coat. no jacket. and i was comfortable. when i got home, charlie was in the front of the house with the dogs. and we just sat there for an hour and soaked in the sun. the beautiful, glorious, wonderful, life-giving sun.
and then we got wild and opened every window in our entire house and we were hyper and hi-fiving each other like it was going out of style.
then we went shopping and charlie didn't complain one time. and then we saw a movie that just so happened to be set in Arkansas and we have driven by the town it was filmed in 100 times and kept pointing at the screen and laughing and giggling. it's called "mud" and it was a fantastic film. and then we looked it up at the island in the film was filmed on the mississippi river just outside of eudora! what are the odds?
and then we came home and sat with the dogs on the front porch and watched the neighborhood. i would have sworn yesterday that we lived on an abandoned street, but today everyone was outside. everyone was enjoying this blessed thing we call spring. that you really can't quite appreciate as fully if you don't have a bitter, terrible, miserable winter. it's true. now i know.
minnesoooota is cold.
it's just been an amazing day. weather. quality time with charlie and the puppies. a good movie. just everything.
