The vernal equinox. That wonderful high point in my year where I can look forward to six months of days that are longer than the nights, when the grass is sprouting and the robins are singing their tiny brains out. I know I go on and on about it every single year, but I just can’t help myself. It’s the first day of spring, and I am loving it.
Actually, where I am it feels more like summer. I didn’t even have time to get my infamous bout of spring fever this year. It never really felt like winter much at all, then before I knew it, spring snuck in early with a week of temperatures soaring to 20 degrees Celsius. Honestly, I ran in shorts on Sunday – and that is the first time I can remember ever running outdoors in the winter in shorts. Yes, according to the calendar, it was still winter – so it counts!
To be honest, if it just stayed like this for the entire summer, I would be a happy camper – cool nights, afternoons that are perfect for a beer on the deck – without all the stifling heat and humidity that make it too brutal to do anything in between.
Anyway, I will stop going on about it for now, but I just wanted to wish you all a Happy First Day of Spring!
