And dinner out is the best treat, because the feast is prepared by others. No dishes to clean up, and good company to boot.

” What a winning combination.”

Yesterday was our day for such a treat, and the theme of the dinner was spring/summer. All the treats that come together with “barbeque time.”

“YES!!!!”

I wonder if spring is close.

The chicken was yummy, golden brown, crispy, and juicy. The salads fantastic, and the variety, well what can I say… “Yummy!!”

I ate my fill, and left that night content and happy.

But, for some reason once I stepped out the door, there was winter waiting for me to step out. What happened to spring? Was I dreaming or was it just the delight of the feast before me? Must have been, as reality has away of shocking up out of a delightful moment.

Oh well, I can dream of the green blades of grass beneath my feet, the warm sun on my face,of the aroma of the seasonal blooms tickling my senses, and summer in full activity.
