Spring is a day away although it feels like it had arrived early. By now the daffodils are blooming everywhere. The crocus are done. Forsythia are also blooming. The deciduous trees all have buds. I have already dug out my shorts. There were some days that warranted them. For a few weeks now it has been in the sixties and seventies. I have even wore my tee shirts although not every day was warm enough to do that. In a few weeks I will put out hummingbird nectar. I am shooting for April 1 to do that although I usually do not see them until the end of April. With the warmer weather maybe they will come sooner. We will see.

Spring was less than a hair away–less than three weeks. Perhaps by then all the snow will have melted. The snow seems as if it was on the ground forever. Though it was only February and now the bare spots are bigger.
In fact, the daffodils have already poked their their heads through the ground. I checked today. The primrose can’t be too far behind.
I know the temperatures will rise gradually. Before I know it, spring will arrive and all this cold weather will just be a memory.
In ten weeks I will take my annual camping trip with Chuck. Maybe even catch some more trout on the lake. Who knows?
Though, I am still bundling up–even in the house. I don’t like to be cold. Winter is still a reality but I am now anticipating spring already and the warmer weather. I know it will have arrived for good when I start wearing my tee shirts again.

I did not think about it: I was wearing shorts today like I have for months. It was time to switch to pants. It was rainy and 58 degrees outside. The summer was really over. It was only a few weeks ago where the temperature dropped 10 degrees as if someone just flicked a switch.
For months I just wore tee shirts. I could no longer do that. Summer had officially less than two weeks to go. It already felt like autumn. I just had to make the adjustment as far as apparel. It was time.
