Tantalizing Spring


Spring!!!

So mischievous. So, so fickle.

You tease us with warmth, then quickly grow cold again, as if you want us to remember what Winter is like, instead of causally carrying us to Summer.

"Awake, thou wintry earth -
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!"

~ Thomas Blackburn 

We've had a few nice days, warm enough to cast off our sweaters, allowing trees to blossom and flowers to spring forth.  These last few days have been cold and windy, gusty breezy.

Though, despite this, I shouldn't complain.  Our "Spring" weather doesn't seem to last long, mainly because it can snow as late as May and June, going straight into hot heat.

It's overcast and nippy right now.

A 90% chance of rain this Saturday.

"April showers bring May flowers."

I do so love the rain :0)
