Cold Spring Days..

I had really began to believe that spring was on its way..

The weather was getting warmer..the snow was melting..and slowly but surely the sounds of spring were upon us. The lovely sound of snow melting, the smell of the fresh crisp springtime air and the odd sound of a bird or two brave enough to come back to the first signs of spring..

Last weekend I was outside for two entire days..from 8 in the morning until 5 at night..and I didn't even bother with a coat..for the weather was just that nice.

And then I was hoping that this weekend would be the same. Alas..When I stepped outside my door this morning to get my day started...I realized how wrong I was about spring being here..and quickly ran back inside to grab long johns, another sweater AND my coat.

It's now been well over an hour since I've made my way back inside..but the core of my being still feels as though it's frozen solid. I guess spring isn't really here afterall...which is rather discouraging..I'm longing to put away my winter coat and say good riddence to it..I've had enough with winter! Bring on the nice weather and take away all of this blasted snow!

Despite the rain this week..there is still so much snow here. In places the snow is still up well past my knees..but in most others it's settled and melted below my knees. But still..I've had about enough! I'm ready for something warmer! I need a change that does not involve snow and cold and wind..which is where the lovely springtime weather (including all of that fun mud and muck!) comes into play...

Today would have been an absolutely lovely spring day..except for the fact that the wind was so utterly cold and bitter. I need to slather my poor hands in cream as the wind just absolutely took a beating on them..

On the upside..I now have reason to go be lazy and have the warmest of warm showers and cuddle up in a million blankets with some sort of reading material..horray! :)
