This morning I woke up early, because the sun was shining! Our master bedroom faces East, which is both wonderful and terrible. Wonderful because of the amazing morning light that streams in, and terrible for the exact same reason. It’s tough to sleep in when the sun is shining, calling you to come outside and play!

The sun is especially welcome right now because it seems like we have had an unusually cold spring. Yesterday was raining and gloomy, and after a long gloomy winter it’s just too much to have to wait for that glorious Vitamin D!

I feel badly for my hubby, he is stuck working all day in an office with no windows. He often misses out on all the fun weather that happens, both the sun and the storms. Hopefully his next job will come with a view, but until then he is left out of the fun.

There are still some plants that need to get in the ground, and hopefully after this weekend we will be safe to plant annuals as well (the usual last frost comes no later than Mother’s Day in our area). But mostly I hope the sun keeps shining so it can beat the winter blues into submission. I really do think I am affected by the lack of sunlight, because I sure do feel like doing a happy dance once the sun comes out!
