Draught brings April flowers

You would think a scary rain cloud like that would bring on a downpour, but it actually just dropped a few wimpy drops. With that being the extent of the rainfall so far this spring and today being the first 90-degree April day that I can remember, I would have thought plant life would be crunchy and dead. But the flowers and trees are blooming anyway…

I also like to wear April flowers on my scarf.

PINK

The color pink is one of my favorite things in the whole world. Unfortunately it’s not my best color, so I don’t really wear it except on my nails. But this spring, pink is all the rage so there are a ton of different ways to wear it. All the pink is overwhelming, but I picked out some things I like that don’t clash with my face.

Signs of Spring!

Happy first day of spring! Now that winter is officially over, the seasonal depression is gone and replaced with the anxiety of all the “new beginnings” that are supposed to come with spring.

Anyway, I ventured out to see if there are any signs of spring yet besides gorgeous weather, and I found flowers and day drinking – pretty much sums it up!

First Day of spring song:

Groundhogs don’t know a thing about climate change

- We have things called TV weathermen now -

Happy Groundhog Day, I guess.

So the stupid thing saw his shadow today, which means we have six more weeks of winter. But, I don’t believe that – mostly because a groundhog’s shadow is complete irrelevant – but also because this year is different from all the rest. We had a snow storm in October, but it was 60 degrees on February 1st. Just because today feels like winter again doesn’t mean it won’t be 80 and sunny next week. The weather has proved that it’s going to do what it wants to do, and it has been in my favor so far with a basically snowless winter. I’m going to go ahead and say that I don’t see any shadows on this cloudy day, so Spring must be on the way. Get over yourself, Phil.
