Hot

I have been slowly working on getting my vegetable garden ready, and I've been doing it in the unpredictable spring weather of Northern New Mexico. Some days have been sunny, although still cool, some have been so windy I thought Tes might blow away, and last week I finished putting my fence up in the snow.

Today, while Christian was napping, Tes and I headed outside to start painting the fence. It was a nice morning, but the day before had been a little cool, so I threw on jeans and a light sweater. Within fifteen minutes I was pretty warm, and in another ten I was hot. I hadn't been hot in so long that I actually enjoyed it. Standing in the sun was almost unbearable, but I pushed up my sleeves and kept working. I wasn't about to take the still heat for granted, not after so much cold and wind. When I worked my way into the shade I let out a sigh of relief, but it didn't take long to get back into the heat. After a long, cold winter, being hot was absolutely beautiful.
