Could it Be? Spring?!
After the crazy winter we’ve had I never thought I’d see the day when I’d wear sandals again. So mark the calendar: I got to dust off my favorite sandals today! :D I didn’t need to wear some big bulky winter coat today, either! Everybody’s driving with their windows down, or riding motorcycles, bikes, or jogging! I’ve even seen some folks doing yard-work (although there are still some petrified snowpiles here and there). You just can tell everyone in my city is embracing the long-overdue warm weather with wide open arms. Hip hip hooray for spring!
I won’t jinx myself just yet, of course. The city’s still pretty crappy-looking from the winter (you wouldn’t believe the some of the shit that was buried in those massive snowpiles-a few blocks from my house there’s a newly-defrosted crapbox car that was previously buried for months. “Dude, where’s my car?” :P). We’re getting into the rainy season, too, so there’s lots of mud and run-off on the roads, along with leftover sand/dirt that was used to coat the icy streets during winter. So we’ve still got a ways to go before the scenery starts to look colorful and spring-like, but at least we’ve got a warm sunny day today. Baby steps.
I’m particularly grateful for today’s weather cause’ I had been feeling under the weather over the weekend (some 24-hour bug I’m assuming). After being cooped up in the house for two days it feels absolutely marvelous for me to go outside, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the sunshine!
It really was such a nasty winter. But just as all good things must come to an end, I guess all bad things have to end eventually, too. Cheers to spring and brighter days ahead for everybody!
