Just outside

I was planning on figuring out a picture to do while sitting on the comfort of my couch surrounded by Kleenex and juice and a blanket wrapped around my legs. I've thrown it off at least a dozen times getting too hot to handle its weight.

And then I looked outside. And though my body forbade me and begged me to lie still, my heart drew me outside to the still leafless trees and the bright sunny sky. The first signs of spring are bubbling up from the greenery surrounding my house. It was too beautiful to just stay in.
