Aaaaaaaagggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I HAVE PLANS
House plans — (Dark blue or Dark red trim?)(New fence, old fence repainted, no fence)
Garden plans — (railroad ties or wall o’ rocks/pavers? Herbs and veggies)
Party plans — Outdoor barbecues, warm sunshine, cold beer

I’m fixated on the arrival of Spring. For a few days I was convinced that we didn’t have spring because we haven’t had enough parties. Ancient civilizations had parties every 6 weeks or so to celebrate the coming season. We don’t engage in enough nature worship — maybe more celebrations of spring, fertility, and life would hasten the arrival of spring, or at the very least put us all in a better mood.
Now, today, on my way home I heard sounds of spring. Birds (what sounded like hundreds of birds) chattering away in trees near our house. I inhaled deeply trying to catch the scent of spring. No such luck. All I could smell was winter and the smell of YET MORE SNOW COMING.
Now it’s snowing again.
I know spring is coming and I see that once again it is supposed to be in the 40s next week. I’m not sure I believe the weather guys anymore. THey keep predicting “warmer” when all we get is colder and snowier. Damn them and their false hopes for an early spring!
