Spring is coming, Spring is coming !!! I am waiting for today and tomorrow to end. Then we get five days of Spring-like weather. My crocuses have eleven buds, and the daffodils are getting higher and higher. I know the cold weather this year was short, but I still remember those ice cold days we had. Spring is less than two weeks away, and I can’t wait for it to come.

Winter is less than four weeks away. It is in the sixties today. The cold weather will return. Nevertheless, I will enjoy today. I just learned that 2014 has been the warmest in history. I am sure the bitter cold will come and there will be snow again. The only question is how bad will winter be. And spring will follow. Isn’t that a happy thought?

Suddenly I could breathe. The cold was really done. For now. Warmer weather was on the horizon. Spring has started. And March was typically wet. In fact, today was the first day of the trout season in this area. In May I will camp with my childhood buddy for the first time in three years. The last two I visited him in New Orleans. I have much to look forward to. Warmer weather, particularly. And trout fishing. And getting together with my lifelong friend.

My purple crocuses did not bloom yet. There are buds. But not yet. Everything is later this year due to the unnatural cold. My friend in another part of the county had a bed of crocuses in full bloom over a week ago. Maybe, there is more open sunlight on his land. I keep inspecting my crocuses. The daffodils are still a few weeks away from blooming.

It was winter’s last gasp. There was a thin layer of white on the ground. It might be the last time we get snow this season. I checked the ten day forecast: today would be the coldest and tomorrow it would hit an high of forty-eight and after that it was fifties and even sixties. The cold weather will just become a distant memory.

It is one day minus four weeks to spring. My countdown has started. It has been a little warmer for a few days but the temperature is going down again. I keep checking the ten day forecast but it does not bode much relief from the cold. Not yet anyway. And there might be more snow on the horizon. Will this winter ever end?

It is one day minus five weeks to spring. All I see is snow. And it feels like the cold will never leave us. In the next ten days there will be five days where it will be in the forties, then thirties again. It will warm up again. Our one car is snowbound. Let us see how long it takes for the snow to melt. At least, I got the other car out. Spring will come. It just does not feel that way now.

It is still going to remain cold. I checked the ten day forecast and seven of those days it will not going above freezing. I will just bare (bear) it. And have enough layers of clothing on. There is nothing else to do. I will stay in most of the time. And still shiver every time I go outside no matter how much clothing I have on. And will not be able to wait until the heat kicks on in my car.

I just want to stay in: it is thirty-seven degrees with a wind and cold. Fall is already half over and then winter hits–how discouraging. I will try to have enough clothing on when I go out and just bear it. Before I know it, it will be spring. At least, I like to delude myself that is true.

I just wanted to be in. I dashed out for a quick errand and noted the temperature outside was forty degrees according to my car thermometer. The clouds were stormy and dark–snow clouds. I guess the cold weather is here for good. All I want to do is hibernate and only go out when it is necessary. Next spring and summer seems an eternity away.

The summer is on its way out. Labor Day is today. I noted the low temperature last night was seventy. That might be the highest overnight for the rest of the year. We might have to wait until 2014 to see such temperatures at night. Already the highs are dropping to the seventies and the lows overnight are going to be in the fifties. Summer officially has a few weeks to go. The colder weather is coming. How depressing.

Last night might have been the last night in the twenties. I still feel cold and I am still wearing my thermal underwear. Maybe, spring has finally gotten here. My wife said that last night will be the last one that cold for awhile. I will see.
