We made it folks! Winter is officially over.
I know some people really enjoy winter, and, in fact, so do I. But by the time March rolls around, I’m ready for the season to understand that the attraction has faded and depart for someplace either far to the north or far to the south.
This spring has been particularly delightful for me what with the early arrival of daylight savings time. I don’t arise early, so it makes little difference to me whether the sun pokes its head out at 6:15 or sleeps in until a more reasonable, but still ungodly, 7:15. But light remaining in the sky until 7 or 7:30 at night does make a difference to me and I can feel the improvement in my state of mind already. Living below ground and working in an interior office, those little bits and pieces of sunlight are precious to me, and I value them greatly (particularly when they occur when I’m awake).
Welcome, spring. Please make yourself at home and stay for a nice, long visit.
Huzzah for spring!! I wish it’d be more apparent up here. The birds are back, but nothing’s green or blooming yet. But nice weather is coming, so the snow should melt at least!
Comment by Jenn 03.22.07 @ 6:06 ami KNOW. I’m so excited about the arrival of spring, the abandonment of down jackets, flowers, sunshine, the works. It’s not quite arrived here in Philly yet, but it’s trying. Hurrah!
Comment by Jennie 03.22.07 @ 9:43 amOhhh, how I miss those cherry blossoms! The snow is steadily shrinking away, but not fast enough; to say we are also ready for spring is a definite understatement. (And, DOD and I are so glad to see your posts “springing†back!)
Comment by Mum 03.22.07 @ 10:20 amHaving lived in and around D.C. myself for many years, I miss those cherry trees. Spring there is just SO beautiful. Thanks for the souvenir!
