“Soon.”
“When?”
“A couple of months.”
“A couple of MONTHS???”
“We aren’t even in spring yet. That’s a couple weeks away.”
“A couple of WEEKS???”
“Yeah. Thank goodness.”
“I want SUMMER!!!!”
“I don’t think you’re in charge, EJ.”
EJ. Elizabeth Jane.
“I’m going outside. I’m sure there’s some green grass somewhere.”
“You can go to the back yard, but come in when I call you.”
Outside, EJ began a systematic study of the grass. Starting at the fence, she walked down to the alley, back up to the house, down to the alley, back to the house, each time a foot or two further inside the yard. When her mother called her for supper, she’d only finished half the yard and the sun was going down.
“EJ!!! Elizabeth Jane!!! Come in. Your dad is home, supper’s on the table.”
“I’m not finished!”
“Finished what?”
“Looking for spring!”

I still haven’t found what I’m looking for….
You too? 😉
Yup. Me, too.
Haha, Loved it! How true! In a child’s mind that’s what you do! Delightful!
Thank you! 🙂
I could see her wandering along, looking, hehe
We’re almost finished here — the signs are beginning to show!
This was one of my favorite times in San Diego — it was when the wild lilac bloomed in the chaparral. ❤
If it would help, let E.J. know that I have hyacinths and tulips starting to poke their heads up and the bunnies have been eating all the crocuses that are already blooming. It’s an early spring in the midwest for sure!
Ssshhh…. 😉
That will keep her occupied for a couple of weeks.
😂
