As if I haven’t mentioned it enough in the last year, I’d just like to reiterate my loathing of winter coldness. Gray skies, barren trees, biting wind, and cars white-washed in a layer of salt—it’s enough to drive me to drink caffeinated beverages. Which is why a day like today makes me feel as though the heavens have opened and freely dumped all of their excess happiness down through my open sunroof.
I was warm today. Nearly hot.
Mrs. Smith and I sat on my porch late this afternoon and chatted while the neighborhood kids rode their bikes up and down the street laughing and chasing and re-introducing themselves to The World Outside of Playstation. One of them complained that it was too hot outside and I thought I might cry warm, juicy tears of joy.
The forecast predicts a full week of sunny skies and warm temperatures. So if you’re driving along this week and see a lady doing cartwheels down the lane, don’t call the Funny Farm—I’m just celebrating.
I’ll be doing the cartwheels right along with you. Mmmm, spring.
Isn’t it a relief to know that winter is OVER. Sure, we may have a day or two of cold, another freakish storm to suffer through, but, we KNOW it will NOT last. One of the few Beatles song that I like is “Here Comes the Sun”, just because if reminds me of this very feeling of winter being over once again.
spring hasn’t yet fully manifested itself in NYC but temps in the 40s and 50s have given me hope that it is nearly here. Yesterday I was asked why I was so dressed up at work since I was wearing a skirt. I responded that the temps are finally high enough to allow me to wear skirts to the office without losing my legs to frostbite even with tights and boots. Yeah spring!
I too am totally in love with this weather, and wishing I could go for a run [jog, really, i run very slow.] But wouldn’t you know I just tested positive for strep today. Hello spring fever and fever did I!
