Dear Sunshine (a letter)

Dear Sunshine,

I miss you. It has been too many months since we've seen each other and I need you to come home from your winter break. Yesterday I bought a hammock so that we could spend some more time together this summer.

It is my deepest wish for us to be together again. Every day I wake hoping you will be back. This morning I saw you glimmering on the ocean and in anticipation ran outside to embrace you, but you were merely teasing me. I don't know if you're aware, but your sister, the ocean breeze, is viciously cruel when you are not around. Please come back and tame her so I can enjoy you both again.

I know my distance from your warmest paths makes your journey back take a little longer, but I need you now!! I can't take your bickering with winter much longer; your promise of return continually snatched away again. Please stop pouting, vanquish winter completely and send her on her way!!

Yours always (or at least until you get too pushy and try to cook me in August),

Charlotte

  1. I couldn't agree more. Grrr...I'm so sick of the cold! I want to play outside with my baby and I think this is a poor excuse for spring!

  4. Although the sun was hidden behind rain clouds here, it was really warm. We wore shorts and tee shirts. Bummer for you.

  5. I took pictures of our little outing today that is a nice depiction of your feelings. We thought that sun might equal warm enough to play on the beach. We were kind of wrong.

  6. I know where it is. Come to El Paso and you will find sunshine all the time. Nice place to visit with Grandma and Grandpa there also.

  7. Sunshine comes and goes here in Utah. Last weekend we hit 70 degrees. Then it snowed Monday. Yesterday was a pleasant 55, and today we were hit with a freezing wind and of course more snow. My poor flowers wish they could duck back underground!
