I’m tired of winter. It always happens to me about this time each year. In October the chilly weather is kind of a refeshing change from the hot summer days. And the first snowflakes are always magical. But now it’s the end of February and it’s just wet and slushy and icky and cold and I want springtime to be here already. For God’s sake, the Red Sox are already in spring training down in Florida. Does this mean nothing to the weather Gods?
Persephone? Where are you?
So, in an act of imitative magic, I’ve already done something that I usually only do with the arrival of springtime in hopes of forcing the season into fruition.
Hey, Euty! Come on down to Atlanta! The bradford pear trees, yellowbells, and daffodils are fighting to see which can produce the most outragious color. It’s quite beautiful.
Of course, they’re all gonna die in the inevitable last freeze. It should be along any time now. But for today - It’s spring!
According to the University of Michigan (where I work), it’s Spring. Or, at least, it’s Spring Break. Never mind it’s gonna hit a whopping 32 degrees today.
I have no idea why Spring Break falls in Winter.
Of course, I still have to work over it, so it’s not really all that important.
Well, Eutychus55, you’ll be happy to know that…Sping training games start TODAY!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D BASEBALL is here!!! Spring officially starts now, regardless of what the calander says.
I planted a few of my flowers the other day (indoors of course) and their already poking through the soil, so spring better hurry up and happen so I can get my babies outside. I’m going to have a spify hundred dollar garden this year and I can’t wait to see it grow! (I’m addicted, obsessed, and overall in love with gardening, if you haven’t already noticed…)
It’s all your fault, Euty. You shaved your beard too early, and now you’ve upset the delicate balance of the universe. Quakes, storms…geez, what’s next? Plagues of frogs?
I tried and tried and tried, but I just couldn’t see how being either of these Gods is a bad thing. Although I think you may need a little more practice with the weather.
