I said a dumb thing while chatting with a couple of guys in a box store checkout line earlier this week. While mentioning the warming weather (read any temperatures above freezing here), I said, “It feels like spring.”
I was immediately greeted by dubious looks from the
other parties. “Wait,” I quickly amended, “I’m a Montana native. I know where
we are on the calendar, and I know winter never really leaves. I’m just
suggesting it feels pretty good out there today. The snow is even melting a
little bit.”
For the last couple of days, temperatures have been
tickling at the fifties. I know there is a snowstorm ready to pounce on us
sooner rather than later, but I’m telling you, it feels like spring. And I am
not alone in this; I even spotted a moth fluttering around outside the house at
dusk yesterday evening.

Ah… spring in the air said the American. Why should I retorted the Englishman.
ReplyDeleteI’m hard pressed to tell the difference here in Bayawan.
There is a notable difference in weather between Bayawan and here. No doubt about that!
