Just a little longer...

Dragonflies will return...

Water fights will be held in the backyard...

Picnics will happen more often than not...

Butterflies will hatch...

We'll be eating corn on the cob...

Roads will be made...

We'll be relaxing by the lake...

Wearing sandals and riding bikes...

Going for stroller rides...

Doing backflips...

Jumping into the pool...

Cruising on the 4-wheeler...

Walking through the sprinkler...

And catching a few rays...

but as I sit and look out at the ice and snow on this cold April day, I am reminded that we're going to have to wait for the good things that will come.  Eventually.  And for the sake of everyone's general well-being I hope it is sooner than later.
