I want Spring!

To start a little poem my grandmother and aunt are always reciting:

SPRING HAZ SPRUNG
DA GRASS HAZ RIZ
I WONDER WHERE DA FLOWERZ IZ
DA BURD IS ON DA WING
MY WURD HOW UBSURD
I ALWAYS THOUGHT DA WING WAZ ON DA BIRD

I have no idea what this is from or where they got it but I hear it every spring.

I am ready for spring. I want to go out without my coat and wear pretty shoes and feel good in the sun, maybe even do some yoga out on the balcony. And I might be getting a little impatient, if I stomp my feet will it come faster?

Instead of stomping I decided to try knitting something happier.  I just finished the Peekaboo socks I was knitting for a friend's mom.  Black socks are definitely a challenge to knit but at least they were only ankle socks and a simple pattern.  I'm thinking of making myself a pair.  It would be fun to have a pair of socks to put on for a pedicure.  It's a little annoying to scrub and put on lotion to then walk on the carpet and get fuzzies stuck to my fresh feet. That might be a future happy knitting project but I just wasn't feeling casting them on right away after I just finished a pair.

Between the plain black getting a little depressing and not really feeling the double heelix socks I had started, I was starting to think I was all socked out.  How could that be possible?

I went searching in my Sock Club 13 list for something bright and happy to get me going again.  And I found it! I cast on to start my Owlie Socks in some bright blue.  I need to find some beads in my jewelry stash but right now I'm still on the cuff.  So much happier then black socks.
