…At least for today.
I woke up in my usual post-”Springing Forward” glory, late and grumpy. I went to bed last night and laid awake, lamenting my situation.
It was drizzling when I got outside, but warm. With a coffee in hand from my favourite coffee shop, things were looking up. It was windy when I went out for fresh air during my work day, but I could tell that the wind was taking away the snow. Right now ti’s windy, but the blue sky teases me between the clouds of what I hope is all the snow in the city evaporating away.
As a true farm girl, my life revolves around the weather. In the winter I’m depressed. Spring gives me hope. Spring brings muddy-puddle-jumping and spring thawing with its mighty aroma where rain and dirt and things growing and things melting all mix together. Honestly? I’d rather have a thaw on the farm, because at least I know what cow shit smells like. Here in the city? I have no idea what is wafting from the mounds of melting snow and refuse.
Today was very spring-like. And I have to give credit where credit is due, I hadn’t noticed how much brighter it was when I arrived home from work until a friend pointed it out.
Today feels like spring. And the wind? Means I have no snow on my balcony anymore. Holy effing crap.
I may or may not have had a bit of a spring in my step when I walked home. Shhhh, don’t tell anyone.

[...] it’s been too long. Thirteen posts ago it was springtime. Hopefully spring is coming again soon. A lot has changed between then and now and mostly all of it [...]
