Spring Time, Sister Spots & Sea Gulls ♥

I truly am a huge lover of snow and Wintertime. It's my favorite season. I can admit it. I'm not ashamed. ha! People in my little city get really tired of the snow and cold very quickly. I tend to relish in it and I secretly like it and smile inside when everyone around me is grumbly and cranky about it. However, there certainly is something about Springtime. It's so fresh and new. I just love it! ♥  Spring is slowly trying to arrive here in my little city on the Lake. I remember last year, it was snowing on May 5th. yep. crazy, huh? The air is changing, though. You know that feeling you get when the air outside smells different? It smells familiar and new all at the same time and you welcome it like an old friend that you haven't seen in years. New beginnings, new life...tiny little green sprouts pushing their way up through the still cold ground.

My sister, Hallie and I like to spend Sister time down at the Bay of Lake Erie or anywhere at Presque Isle State Park...we love to be by the water. We call them our Sister Spots. A couple of weeks ago, we took some time out of our busy entrepreneurial lives and decided that it was due time to head to one of our Sister Spots. We grabbed some Tim Horton's coffee and headed down to the Bay. Here are a few pictures I took of the friendly sea gulls who are feeling the change in the air as much as we are! :)

It was quite chilly that day, but I could certainly see the excitement in the eyes of the gulls...the clear sky, crisp and perfectly blue. The residual ice on the bay didn't fool them, they were playful and cheerful knowing that warmth is just around the corner. ♥ I learned from those gulls, that anticipation with cheerful patience will certainly bring sunshine. ♥
