. spring fever .

as large snowflakes fly across my window...

all i can think about is... when will the flowers bloom,

the sunshine stream down, the curtains flow from open windows,

the daylight linger longer, and the sweet air of spring EVER get here?

i do believe i have a serious case of spring fever...
