    It snowed here the last two days. Just about every year we get one of these demoralizing April snows. I won’t be surprised if we get yet another one. I steeled myself by pretending that it was the first snow. I poured a glass of wine and stared at it, I tried to capture it’s beauty in pictures, I told myself that this could be the last until November so go out in it and enjoy the silence it affords. That strategy kind of worked for me.
    Last week we were in Florida and my body got fooled into thinking winter was over. When I got back it wasn’t and it made me think realistically about how long the weather stays crappy here. We’re now in the fourth month of the year and we probably have yet another five weeks ’til the weather truly breaks.
    When I was younger I think this fact was obscured by rose colored glasses or maybe I actually liked it. One thing tho, when it does finally break it is for me such an unbelievable rush, A reward if you will, for the waiting.

    Nothing stuck to the ground, so we were spared the discouragement of endless winter. just a lot of swirling white flakes in the air and a kind of “isn’t that strange?” feeling. Today it’s sunny and should get up to around 60, so we’re content. By my strictly unofficial memory I had April 6 as the latest appearance of snow (and some time in October as the earliest!).

    Lovely home opener we had here. 40° and 3 hour rain delay followed by pitching collapse (again) and shellacking from the Jays.
    “strictly unofficial memory” he he.
