Close your eyes! Imagine a soft breeze, the sun on your face and the sound and smell of the ocean nearby.

I guess I'm desperate to see some progress weather-wise at the moment. The grey-brown branches of the trees outside my bedroom window, the dirty snow on the ground, and the cloudy, white winter sky are not as appealing anymore. Luckily I received a box filled with new clothes yesterday, quite a few necessary items for my children but also the brown summer dress/tunic and the matching bathing suit I found on sale at Bon'A Parte. (I'm sure T. laughs when he reads this. He always teases me about the brown clothes I tend to prefer.) However, I know they will be perfect when summer finally arrives.
