Look at me writing a post two days in a row…who knew I had it in me ;]

It’s spring today everybody! Not that the weather agrees here in New England but I’ll take the end of winter either way. I decided to celebrate by wearing a springy little sundress…and am compensating for the cold with a cardigan, long socks, and riding boots so I don’t freeze to death. I can at least pretend spring is here even if freezing in a sundress is a poor way to do it.

I wore this dress in Italy when we explored Naples, the Amalfi Coast, and Pompeii by foot and train. That was a magical day in a magical country and this bright little dress always reminds me of those sweet, warm memories.

Today, on the first day of spring, I’m dreaming of the Italian sun, of lemon groves and street vendors selling bright flowers, and of taking a long walk in the sunshine…either here or there, anywhere so long as I’m warm :]

Katniss is helping me celebrate…all snuggled up in my lap while I write this post.

Walking the streets of Pompeii in my little sundress

Flowers for sale on the streets in France

A sunshiny day on the Adriactic

Birds sunbathing in Croatia

Poppies growing up out of the rocks in France; I think they love they sun as much as I do.

Happy spring, everyone :]
