Christine whines, “Bring on Spring, please!“

Last June, I wrote a post about pretending that it was Summer and shortly thereafter, we had some good weather.

Right now, I’m hoping I can use some of the same kind of blog magic and invoke some Springishness.

This is not the face of someone frolicking in Spring weather. This is the face of someone determined to be outside even if it is kind of dreary.

It’s a dull day and there are evergreens and leafless deciduous trees behind me.

I’m ready for some green leaves and for more flowers and for some consistent warmth.

I want to do some yoga on my patio.

I want to get my garden sorted.

I want to have more reasons to get outside (Ones that aren’t just ’I’d feel better if I went outside for a while.’)

I mean, I know that I live on a rocky island in the Atlantic Ocean so I don’t want to set my hopes too high but even 5 degrees warmer (on a regular basis) and a few sunny days in a row would be great.

If you happen to be a weather witch or am ancient weather goddess, could you conjure up some friendly weather for me? I’ll bake you some great cookies and/or draw you something fun in return.

In the meantime, I’ll keep pretending it’s Spring – opening my office window, standing on the patio whenever possible, drinking tea on my front step, taking longer walks – and perhaps I’ll trick the sun into coming out for a while.

Khalee is unfazed by the weather, she just wants to sniff things and make sure other dogs aren’t walking on ‘her’ path. (My attempts to convince her that it is a public path have been for nought.) image description: a photo of Khalee, a medium sized dog with light brown fur standing on a wet asphalt path and looking alert.
