We put on rubber boots and venture out to see the state of things. As we step into the sunshine and melting snowbanks, we stretch a long stretch. We are coming out of hibernation into a new world.
We look around to see the others emerging as well. A long winter's sleep and we are excited to re-enter the outdoors. Alan and Elsie are chatting two doors down. Another neighbour is shovelling slop off his driveway. Two more are walking their dog. Sarah comes home from work and stops to say 'hi'.
I am as thrilled to see human life outside as the boys are to see that it is puddle-jumping weather.
