No, thoughts. Go away.

I realized something today.
I didn't get around to walking Jackie Brown until 5:00pm. I left to walk her with only a hoodie on for warmth and when I returned at 6:00 there was still light! This, on top of the fact that it was about 65 degrees today makes me feel something. Something kinda familiar. Something involving a tiny little bud of happiness working its way out through my psyche. Could it be, is it happening?
SPRING FEVER!?!

No, stop the notion. It is STILL february. It will most certainly blizzard just when you start to feel your most comfortable in your short shorts. And yes tomorrow is supposed to be even nicer. But really, isn't this all kind of wierd!!?! I mean, it only snowed like 3 times, and some bulbs are even starting to pop up. Where is the winter gloom? The starting-your-car-half-hour-before-you-leave days? The days you don't necessarily feel depressed but you have a pretty good undestanding of how depressed folks feel.

I mean how are we supposed to keep our winter clothes and our summer clothes handy????

Maybe this is global warming.
Maybe it's just a big joke with a winter storm warning close behind it.

All I know is come tomorrow afternoon you will find me out on the porch, with my flip flops on, my sunscreen close at hand, and a big smile on my face. February. Hah!

Don't forget, New England Girl, Mother Nature has a way of playing terrible tricks on you. The same thing happened to me in Maine last week. And we got a foot of new snow. WATCH YOUR BACK!
