Woot, I say: My favorite season is really really here

I have been watching the buds on the trees since January. Until a few weeks ago, I spent much energy willing them not to come out yet. I don't think I've ever been aware of the foliage cycle as I have been this year. ( I am VERY talkative today. )

Also, I need new spring shoes. Again/as usual. Think good thoughts for me, as I'm am the pickiest of creatures.
