Spring Where Are You?!?!

The title of this post pretty much says it all.  Like most of the country, it seems that winter has not been told that it has overstayed its welcome in my whereabouts.  It must not realize that today is MARH 26!  We got hammered with MORE snow over the weekend!  We got around 7-8 at my house when it was all said and done.  While I love snow at certain times of the year, late March is not one of those times. 

 

Fortunately, it melts pretty fast this time of year, and in a few days this latest winter storm will only be a memory.  Unfortunately, Spring break is looking more like winter break, and Palm Sunday looked more like Christmas, making me wonder what Easter is going to be like. Easter egg hunts are certainly not intended to be in the snow, and many of them were canceled or carried out indoors over the weekend.   One thing is for certain, the leaves will not be green and the flowers will not be blooming this Easter.

This crazy weather has many of us in the country asking the following question: Spring Where Are You?!?!

I'm over winter.......

 

I’ve never been more ready for spring!  Sunshine and fresh air can do so much for my mood.  It naturally gives me boost of energy and  seems to put a smile on my face; and believe me, I really need that this year.  January and February always seem to be so difficult to get through, because the sun rarely shows itself through the grey, dreary sky.  March comes, and I get a glimmer of hope.  Hope that spring is almost here! Hope that sunshine, green grass and flowers will soon follow. 

 

The only problem is that the weather can at times be unpredictable.  March hasn’t brought me much hope this year L  I think it may be confusing itself with its two predecessors. 

 

 

Instead, March has been somewhat of a tease.  The sun has on occasions peaked from the overcast sky and brought with it warmer temperatures;  however, the peak of sunshine is always short-lived.  It's not long before I am reminded that winter is still my reality  and with it SEVERAL days of grey skies, cold temperatures and even snow.

 

 

It’s just depressing really!  I can’t take much more of the grey skies!  I need sunshine….lots of sunshine!  And I’m certainly not fond of snow in March!  I love the white stuff around the holidays, but by this time of year I’m completely over it! 

 

I'm officially over winter! Sring, please come quickly! If you ask me, it can’t come fast enough!
