Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun

Please come out to play!

I woke up this morning with the golden beams of deceptive light bouncing off my face, and felt my feet itch and my heart sing while I thought, "Is it going to be warm today?"

Well, it's 32 degrees. An improvement over 0, I suppose. But I want to be outside now! Hiking and running, and folfing, and laying in the grass until ten at night and not needing a jacket. I'm sick of my jeans, and my sweatshirts. I have started listening to bubbly summer music even though there's not a lot of bubble summer weather to back it up.

I do love these next few weeks, though; when summer starts to break through winter. I always forget how much energy I have when it's nice outside, and the prospect of climbing a mountain or taking long walks is actually plausible. I think I might actually go into hibernation during the winter, because it always feels like I'm just waking up. And things that would normally stress the heck out of me take a back seat to the giddiness I feel at just being able to put on a tshirt and run outside, and maybe not return to the dreary indoors for a whole day!

Last year Helena didn't get to summer until May, but I'm hoping that's not how it is this year.

I am ready to have adventures!

Yeah, a little creepy, but mine's a little happier, mostly because I started writing it when it actually was warming up (it's not anymore). As for Indian Summer, you're in luck, I just downloaded it...literally, about 6 minutes ago. Also, Mika is everyone's guilty pleasure, but partaking in Gay Pride festivities while listening to it makes it a lot easier to accept your love for him. Come out of the Mika closet!

I wish winter would go away, and never return. I desire year round hikings
