You give me fever

a crisp rosé

 a sundress

barefeet

Taye Diggs painting my toe nails

the snow is finally gone from my yard

and now it looks like this 

dog poop

but spring doesn't officially arrive

in my hood until "ice out"

when you can get across the lake 

without hitting ice

and that my friends is a ways away

I snapped this photo last weekend

at my parents home

near the Arctic Circle

200 miles north of me

where spring takes even longer to arrive
