Relax... Spring will come soon!

[EiriktheScald]

The calender says it's spring; but as I look out the window, I see snowflakes! A picture of last year's tulips and a poem is in order.

 

 

SHE slept beneath a tree

Remembered but by me.

I touched her cradle mute;

She recognized the foot,

Put on her carmine suit, --

And see!

 

-- Emily Dickinson

Yeah I got fed up with this "snow" business so I'm packing up for the tropics in a couple months. I got a good lead on some beachfront property, dirt cheap. The folio says its slightly under sea level, but why would that be an issue? Now I can look at people funny and laugh when they talk about stuff like "skiing" and "snowboarding" - surfing and sunbathing are where it's at.

[EiriktheScald]

I guess with your job, you can go just about anywhere. For a while, I was traveling to Boston and Cleveland regularly -- got sick of traveling. I'll patiently wait it out, thank you.

[Miloch]

Yeah... though I didn't really read the requirements too closely when I signed up for the "Barbarian" position. It's ok when you're pillaging warm, lush, coastal towns, but sacking icy strongholds in the middle of winter gets a bit old after 30 or 40 of those gigs .

[Gabrielle]

Yeah for Spring! It's 30 degrees and there is snow on the ground. I love this state.

[Guest erik]

Snowstorm last I heard from home.

 

But here? Blue sky, snow's all gone, and it's warm enough to relax outside in the sun with a beer. (with a jacket handy, for the wind)

[Guest erik]

And today we're back to white trees and snow on the ground. Looking forward to next day of blue skies already...

[EiriktheScald]

I was reminded today that Christmas '06 was warmer and greener than Easter this year! It seems Mother Nature is getting a little senile.

[Lord Ernie]

We had a wonderful and sunny Easter up here. 17C outside, nice and sunny, everything .

[KIrving]

23C, sunshine, blue skies, blue seas, yachts sailing, pelicans and seagulls flying overhead....ah...Autumn in Melbourne.

[EiriktheScald]

I thought the land down under only had two seasons: dry and rainy.

[BigRob]

Oh no, Melbourne gets all four seasons. Often in the same day.

 

 

Last time I was down there, it was 13C. In the middle of the day. In summer.

[theacefes]

It's been gloomy as of late. April showers and all...bring May landslides and destroyed coastal towns...hehehe...

 

It has been warming up though...although our winter must have had an average temperature of 70 something degrees F.

[CoM_Solaufein]

One of these days Spring will be back to normal. During the winter we had some warm days 40-50F degree weather, and now its Spring time with 20-35F degree weather.
