hope springs eternal

Don't fall for it. Don't believe it for a minute. Spring is NOT here. That's what I told myself yesterday when the sun came out and the temperature hit 60 degrees...because cold weather is already in the forecast for later this week. But today is even warmer, and the sky so blue, and the breeze so calm...I can't help myself. So, with gratitude for this whisper of things to come, I am giving myself permission to dream of spring:

"Did you hear that winter is over?"

there were no problems except where to be happiest."

"Spring is Christ,
raising martyred plants from their shrouds."
Rumi

This week the weather is forecast to turn cold and gloomy again. But...there's hope! If you long for the arrival of spring remember this:
 
My daughter was born on March 28 (twenty-some years ago)...and the day she was born,
the thermometer hit 90 degrees!

Enjoy it while you can!

    We enjoyed beautiful Spring weather all week. We even grilled twice. Now the temperature has dropped. The forecast for next even says there is a possibility of snow.

    Then again, it IS only March and I enjoyed it while it was here. It won't be long before that Spring weather comes back and stays. (I hope)

    I came oh so close to putting the top down on the car on Sunday. Now I wish I had. We're back to rainy and cold.

    Hey, Jan, I've got an award for you on my blog. Come on over.
