Happy Tuesday Everyone! what a gorgeous day. I'm so happy for this reprieve in the weather even if it's only for a few days. The winter really left me feeling depressed and I didn't even realize it until yesterday and today when the temperatures turned springlike and the sun is shining.
I was able to get out of the house and run some errands. Lots of people out and about so I guess everyone had the same idea....get out of the house 
Even the dog is happy to be sitting outside on the deck. I swear she's smiling 
Since the weather is so nice I'm going to fire up the grill and bbq some chicken. We'll have it with a Caesar Salad for dinner.
Can you tell I'm ready to kick this winter to the curb?

Guess your younger son is really enjoying this springlike weather too. So many of my neighbors are out waling their dogs or babies and everyone is in short sleeves and some even are wearing shorts. It's 80 here this afternoon.
My dog loves to be outside and can enjoy being on the deck by herself. We have a gate at the top of the stairs so she can't get into trouble.

@Marilynda1225 Wow! Everyone must feel that same feeling as you.
We used to put up a gate, too, when we had a dog. It wouldn’t have worked for Doodles the cat

I know I've been saying this forever but I need one of those happy lamps.
Our nice weather will be short lived. Everything will go back to cooler temperatures by the weekend so it's too early to put away the winter clothes. But, it certainly was nice today to be able to wear short sleeves. Some people were even out in shorts,

@Marilynda1225 Ask one of your kids for one for Mother's Day, you'll love it.
I just posted a recent picture of Harper and Willow.
You can really tell them apart easily now.
Willow, on the right of the photo, is such a sweet and pleasant child.
Her teachers will love her sunny and patient disposition.

@Juliaacv I saw the picture of Willow and Harper. They have gotten so big and still as cute as ever
Asking for a happy light for Mother's Day is a great suggestion. I always say I don't need anything but I guess I do

Spring sprang about 2 weeks ago here but then we didn't really get much winter such as what you get. Sure it did get pretty cold, to me that is, for about 2 or 3 weeks but here the worst we get are those disgusting sand storms, so far March has been calm but that usually means April will be really dusty

@rebelann Guess we all have some sort of weather to annoy us I don't think I'd enjoy those dust storms that you get.

@Marilynda1225 That’s right. Today was cold again as if the winter was coming back.

A BBQ sounds wonderful. Enjoy while you can. It's going to turn really cold here on Monday. I thought we were through with that!

It was like summer weather and it just felt like a good idea. Turned out I was right and our little bbq was perfect.

Our nice weather was short-lived but enjoyed it while it lasted. I'm not fond of heat & humidity but hope we get some real spring days before summer temperatures hit

Sometimes I grill during the winter but with all the snow it wasn't appealing

Glad to hear you are having such nice weather. Dinner sounds nice. Bbq'd chicken is always a good choice.
Yes, kick this old winter to the curb. Definitely. And you are doing such a good job of just that.

Today has been such an uplifting day for me. I guess I just do better with sunshine and warmer temperatures. Even the fact that it doesn't get dark now until after 7pm is a blessing.
