something you wouldn't expect from me

I am tired of winter.

Yes, anyone who knows me will find that hard to believe. :-) Maybe it's because I've started spending time with someone who is more sensitive to cold than I am. Maybe it's because she's been spending the last week somewhere warm, and I'm envying her :-) Maybe it's just because even *I* can get tired of being cold. But one way or another, I am very ready for winter to end. It's MARCH, for crying out loud. It's getting close to my birthday. I'd really like to stop having my extremities be icy.

Don't get me wrong; I'm not rooting for summer to come along. I HATE summer in DC. It's worse (IMO) than winter, by a long chalk. Cold? Curl up in front of a nice fire, or jump into bed and snuggle (your SO, your cat, anyone can snuggle). Hot and muggy? You can turn on a an or an air conditioner, but it just doesn't have the same romantic feel, and it takes lots more energy.

But I've had enough cold for now. No more snow, no more ice. I'd like to see some spring flowers, the trees leafing out in green, hear some (more) birds. It's time for vernality! :-)

I've been ready for spring for several weeks now. Today, in a fit of optimism, I started pulling back the insulated curtains to let the sun in. Turns out there's a back yard behind the house..

Mostly I agree with you, but there's just something about the pristine stillness of a huge snowfall that is magical, especially at night. I could use one more of those.

I do definitely love those! But we've had a few of those and lots and lots of just nasty cold days. I'd be happy for another real snow, but this just cold and bleak stuff is getting old. And that from a descendent of Friesians.

I love the icon, BTW!

Tada! Warm day.

Tell me about it! :-) Who knew I had such power? Tho' I'm inclined to think that it's more Nora coming back from Hawai'i and brigning some warm weather with her. :-)

I'm inclined to think that it's more Nora coming back from Hawai'i and bringing some warm weather with her.

If so, I think her superpowers would produce more than a mere one-day heat wave. :-)

Yeah, clearly it was soemthign much more feeble than the powers of Droctor Nora! Maybe it was a French superhero. :-)

Hmmm. Nora with superpowers. I wonder... (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4312547.stm)
