[WP] It was springtime everywhere but our backyard.

I sat in a chair on out back porch, looking over the sunset and enjoying the nice weather. Beside me was my wife, whose hand was intertwined with my own. I let out a breath and she turned to me with a quizzical look. I met her eyes and gripped her hand with a grin. Her face reflected my own as we looked once more at the yard.

As the children played in the yard I tried to take it all in. I didn’t want this moment to end. I was shaken from my daydreaming by my wife.

“Aren’t you glad it’s spring?”

I looked at her with that stupid smile plastered to my face as I responded.

“Sweetie, it’s spring for everybody else. For me… This right here? This yard? This is heaven.”
