14/52

The 52 Week Project – A portrait of my son, once a week, every week, for one year.

14/52 — The spring thaw has finally begun and this week we set off on our first hike of the season. I’ve been longing for warmth for so long that I almost forget what it feels like.

This winter has been the worst the northeast has seen in over twenty years — certainly the worst that I can remember. Last spring & summer I was pregnant and then had a newborn. I didn’t get to enjoy the warm months in the ways that I would have liked to. I’ll make up for it — and then some — this year. I’m looking forward to hiking, camping, fishing, gardening and taking more road trips than you can shake a stick at.

The best part will be sharing all of the wonder with my sweet boy. Just wait ’til he sees the magic of fireflies dancing on a hot, July night. My cup runneth over.
