It's Not Spring Yet




How much of human life is lost in waiting?
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I like winter. I have never been one to complain about the cold, and I actually enjoy when it snows. I do not have any dreams of retiring in Phoenix, Arizona, or Orlando, Florida. In fact, the years when I did live in warmer climates, I often found myself missing the change in seasons. This winter has been fairly moderate, with some extreme cold temperatures in late December and January, followed by a rather mild February. Snowfall has been limited to just a few isolated storms.
Regardless of how mild a winter may be, when March arrives, I am ready for spring. I may enjoy winter, but only for a few months. With the days getting longer and February behind us, I no longer enjoy thinking about the possibility of snow. Any progress I felt by turning a page on the calendar, was quickly offset by reading this weeks forecast.
Spring weather will be here soon, but not soon enough.
In the meantime, winter will drag on.

MARCH: Quotations
WEATHER: Execution Rocks Weather Buoy
