The Return of Happy Days

Happy days are here again
We're gon'na move the clocks ahead again
Life will exist after work again
Happy days are here again.

Whew, we've survived the darkest, dreariest time of year. Soon our nostrils will be flaring to catch the scent of beef, chicken, and fish sizzling on backyard barbecue grills. We'll tune our ears to the sound of lawn mowers coughing to life and kids shouting at one another to play ball.

We'll go for walks and bike rides after dinner rather than flopping into overstuffed chairs and all of us will thrill to the jingle of the approaching ice cream truck.

Windows will be thrown open and fresh breezes will drive winter mustiness out of homes everywhere.

We'll be digging sun block out of medicine cabinets and driving pointed umbrella poles into the sand.

Yes indeed, happy days are back again.
