Spring is in the air

We'd just had a late winter snow "storm" (I use that term loosely, as a snow storm in Western Colorado is nothing like a snow storm in Buffalo) and everything had a crisp, fluffy, white coating ... until about noon when it all melted, returning the city to its late-Winter taupe.

Less than two weeks later, the apricot tree looks like it's been hung with garlands of popcorn. The bulbs are starting to bloom and our grass has blades of green.

It seems like spring is here, but the weather this time of year can be a total tease: One day it's sunny and warm with just enough breeze to inspire a trip to the park to fly a kite. The next day can bring skies that threaten to bring rain or snow.

But one thing for sure, it's gonna be hot soon and we're going to be looking back on the schizophrenic weather of spring with lust.

So, I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.
