It has got to be Spring!
We have done all the right things. We waited the extended period for weather indicators that Spring was here.
With every snowfall, we believed it would be the last one, or one "at higher elevations" (which would seem to include us as well). We tolerated a foot of snow on the last day of April.
With warmer days, often several in a row, we allowed ourselves the luxury of shedding winter gear, and even to lower a window when driving. Then 80 degree temperatures brought out some leaves and blossoms.
We were at last into the new season. Sounds of tillers (and mowers) everywhere. Plants flying off nursery shelves. New gardens begun.
Then today: definitely chilly. Rain scuds without warning, rises and dips in temperature. Even hail and snow, again!
It's 5:30pm and the sun is out, not warm, but it's out. The sky is blue, and I can hear a mower in the distance..

Note to Nature: We believe, WE BELIEVE. We accept that this IS Spring.
