Yesterday, I took down the majority of our holiday lights. All that remains up are the lights around Janelle's art room window (which I forgot about until just a few moments ago) and the green St. Patrick's Day/Spring lights that I have around the kitchen. Rowen insisted that I leave the latter up when I started taking them down. I figured that a little color in the morning and evening there wouldn't go amiss for another week or two.
We also noticed yesterday that our living room was starting to heat up again due to the amount of sunlight. This was especially noticeable while we were exercising. It got to the point that we even opened the windows to bring in a wonderfully cool cross breeze.
Thus, with the snow melting, the warming living room, the light in the sky more prevalent, and the lights in the house largely put away, it's beginning to feel a lot more like spring.
