Will it ever be Spring?
As I am watching the flood waters rise and praying for everyone’s safety, I am wondering if warm weather will ever arrive. It seems like it has been 50 degrees and rainy for 9 months.
We were teased with a few days in March that hit 70 degrees, but most of the last 6 weeks have been windy, cold, and rainy. This time of year seems to just drag on and on. The 45 or so days from March 1 to mid-April seem to take 90 days long!
As an avid golfer, the waiting sucks! The Masters starts next week for goodness sakes! I am ready for sunshine, green grass, back porch gatherings, and warm evening walks. They cannot get here soon enough.
I miss seeing my neighbors outside. I miss riding my bike around town. I miss sitting on a back porch and having a cold beer with a friend. I am working hard on being patient.
Springtime is always a season of hope and renewal. Lots of fun, family events to look forward to and annual trips to enjoy. This year is even more special with my daughter’s wedding and the arrival of a new grandson! I am ready for it all to begin. Ready to feel the sun on my face. Ready to feel sweat running down my back. Ready for long, fun days on the golf course.
Oh, and somebody will turn 60 in a few weeks. Let’s get on with it.
“At this time of year, our weather nerves are right up on the surface. The bad seems worse and the good seems better than reality. We would give anything for a fine Spring-fever week and a little sunburn. ”
