Hello.... Spring?

When it's March 1st and what you see outside your front door is this...

 

And it's -27 so to stay warm driving your kids to school you have to wear one of these....

 

It's time to dream.

Of seedlings poking up through the dirt in sun-drenched pots. 

Of a chair in the sun, a glass of cold tea at your elbow, the prickle of grass on your bare feet.

Of a saturated, cloudless sky, a warm breeze whispering in your ear, the rustle of pages in a good book.

It's time to dream big.

Beyond the borders of your life as it is today.  That frame is too small for the greatness on the inside of you anyway. 

Dream Bold.

This is your year.

Dream. 

Because dreaming is good for the soul.

As are these olive oil cakes with lemon and thyme.

They taste like Spring. 

PS.  They also make a great addition to an extremely-late-but-finally-delivered thank you card.  Are you as relieved as I am?
