Anticipation



A crabapple tree filled with ready-to-burst buds.

The final two weeks of school before summer vacation.

The click-click-whoosh of the gas burner firing at dinner time.

The sizzle of turkey burgers on the grill.

The pop of a cork.

Thursday nights.

Dark clouds on the horizon.

The forecast for a sunny weekend.

Reading to my kids at bedtime.

Loading the car for a trip to the lake.

The smell of chocolate cake baking.

Anticipation is one of my favorite emotions.

  2. Yes!
    And a brand-new book sitting by my chair. Sometimes I wait a day or two just to enjoy the anticipation before I read it!
