Katiecav: Hey M?
Mcgt: Yes?
Katiecav: I don't know about you but I'm kind of sick of winter.
Mcgt: Me too. It's been frigid here in the midwest and i'm looking forward to warmer weather.
Katiecav: I know. I can't wait for everything to thaw out...including my feet...it was bellow ten degrees when I woke up this morning!
Mcgt: Yikes! I can't wait for the trees and tulips to start blooming
Katiecav: That's probably one of my favorite parts of spring. All the different flowers that come out. I don't even mind the rain so much.
Mcgt: That's why they say “April showers bring May flowers” and I can't wait for the colors and scents to arrive.
Katiecav: It'll be nice to see the color green again. Hey M?
Mcgt: What?
Katiecav: You know how we wanted to do another contest?
Mcgt: Yeah.
Katiecav: Why don't we do a contest about spring?
Mcgt: Let's do it!
We're back! We just couldn't keep away. And because we are both freezing on our separate sides of the country we want you to write us a story that will warm us from the inside out. We want the fluffiest, lemonyist (is that a word? No? well it should be...), feel good one shot that you can give us. They just have to be based on one of the pictures below...
