I am absolutely in love with the beautiful weather we are having in Pittsburgh right now! Nothing puts a smile on my face like sunshine, a warm breeze, windows down and Simon and Garfunkel blasting on the radio.
It seems the coming of spring and warm weather always makes me want to escape outside and drink in the glorious sunshine...
When I was little and the weather finally turned warmer all I wanted to do was ride my bike all night or read all day on the front porch glider or run barefoot through the grass.
In middle school I still did all of those things but it also meant treasured afternoons fishing at North Park or playing tennis with my grandpa.
In high school we used to leave early and head to Rita's for a delicious ice on forbidden time, the perfect invitation to warm spring afternoons.
During college, I used to relish studying or reading in the quad at Mount Union or playing tennis at La Roche.
When I lived in Annapolis, I loved spending time in Baltimore, drinking on the deck and enjoying time with friends.
Now, in my old age, I want to do all of those things and probably will do some of them this spring but all I want to do in this weather is RUN!
I hope when I'm 70+ the coming of spring will find me frolicking barefoot through the grass, relaxing in a hammock with a good book, playing tennis with my grandchildren, enjoying a glass of wine on the patio and running.
So happy that warm weather has returned... Get out there and enjoy it!
And spring also means, that Lakeside is only a few short months away!
