What do you get when "Dancing with the Stars" ends? And, "American Idol" ends? And, the temperature dips below freezing one more time for just a few hours? And, the sky is blue? And, the weather report calls for seven straight rainless days in the 70s?
You get a perfect un-storm.
You also get a smile on your face.
You get to take those geraniums back to the holes in the soil where you planted them yesterday afternoon, only to hear about the overnight freeze, pull them out and store them inside.
You get a green light on the gardening----finally.
You get really happy because you've waited so long and have been so impatient.
At long last, all factors have converged for the perfect un-storm that sets you free to enjoy the rest of the spring and look ahead to summer.
You get to turn your horses out every morning to munch on lush, green grass.
You get to drag your hoses around every morning to water everything, and while doing so, you get to smile cuz both of those TV shows that helped you survive the long winter had happy endings.
A bubbly 17-year-old Olympic medalist is the youngest winner ever in the dance competition. Of course, when you liked most of the contestants, any winner would have been fine.
And, a "dark horse" who tried out at Churchill Downs surprised even himself when he became the 2009 American Idol. And, his runner-up was so gracious, cuz after all, he's so talented and will have a wonderful future. And, the grand finale was a phenomenal show from beginning to end.
A nice way for both of winter's powerful television antidotes to end.
And, a lovely morning to start off anew with different routines and great expectations of growth and warmth and happy endings of biting into rich, juicy tomatoes, feasting on garden salads, and plucking asparagus spears in just a few days, and baking outside while mowing the ever-growing green lawn.
You are happy, indeed, and, as you watch your pretty Arabians graze on their green fields, and you're brimming over with excitement to launch off into this perfect un-storm and to say to good ol' Mother Nature,
"Bring it on! I'm ready!"
