And after a lengthy, lengthy African winter (it started getting chilly in March) I am oh-so-grateful for the sunshine, the blue sky and the ability to step out of the house without stockings and/or boots.
What I was screaming from the hilltops this morning: "Viva la strappy sandals! Viva la maxi dress! Viva la shorts!"
What I am mumbling under my breath now: "Wow, my toes are in desperate need of a pedi. Really should have waxed my legs this morning. Is my skin really that white a shade of pale? And when did my once form triceps morph into an ode to pudding? Really gotta toss the mash potatoes and develop a love for celery (ick!)"
It is with these thoughts bouncing about around my green tea soaked brain that I decided to google the word 'Spring'.... and these were the results (and how I plan to apply them to mission: summer wife):
Some other interesting definitions (well at least I think so...)

It is with these thoughts bouncing about around my green tea soaked brain that I decided to google the word 'Spring'.... and these were the results (and how I plan to apply them to mission: summer wife):
- The season of growth "the emerging buds were a sure sign of spring"; or in my case "the emerging muffin top above the white capri pants were a sure sign of a good winter"
- Jump; move forward by leaps and bounds; "The horse bounded across the meadow"; "The child leapt across the puddle"; or in my case "The artist jumped for joy when the nice delivery man delivered her four brand new blank canvases this morning"
- a metal elastic device that returns to its shape or position when pushed or pulled or pressed; "Hopefully what my muscles and fitness level is going to do when I eventually get my butt on the treadmill"
- bounce: spring back; spring away from an impact; "The rubber ball bounced"; or in my case "The thing I've been doing ever since I decided I wanted to be a painter – every rejection is one step closer to a gallery actually accepting your work – it took me 4 years but I'm now represented by galleries in Cape Town, Knysna and Jozi"
- a point at which water issues forth, develops suddenly; "the tire suddenly sprang a leak" or "What I do whenever I watch Army wives, catch a re-run of the film 'A walk to remember' or have to chop up the delicious, but nasty, red onion"
