After a week of torrential rain, we finally have SUNSHINE in Obion County. Blue skies and 80 degrees mean:  bed sheets go out to dry on the clothesline today!

With the first day of spring less than a week away, here are a few of my favorite things about springtime:

• Line-dried sheets
• Daffodils
• Spring peepers cheeping in the pond
• Emerald fields of wheat
• Babies! – calves, bunnies, chicks, kittens
• The smell of fresh-turned earth
• Phoebes nesting on the front porch
• Meadowlark and mockingbird song
• Wind whipping through open windows
• Bare feet
• Mud puddles
• A lively creek
• School on the front porch
• Longer daylight
• Honeysuckle perfume of the fresh-breath-of-spring
• Coffee on the porch swing with a friend
