I love winter. Don't think I'm one of those fickle Maine girls who likes snow until January 15th and yearns for hot beaches. I am a 100% content with winter the way it is type of gal.
However, if you've not been hiding under a rock with no wifi, you're most likely aware that winter has been mighty rough for us New Englanders this year. 2015 has not been kind thus far.
I'm ready to admit it - I've been aching for spring! I'm tired of snow up above my waist for months, I'm tired of it being so cold that my nosehairs freeze, I'm tired of trying to calculate whether or not the oil in my tank will last, I'm tired of my car sliding around on ice. It's gotten old. Seeing as it's halfway through April, I consider this to be a perfectly reasonable opinion.
Incredibly, something amazing happened this week - Spring started!!! Starting Sunday, the temperatures skyrocketed up to the high fifties and low sixties. On Monday evening, I swear I saw seventy-one degrees on the thermometer in town - unfortunately, my phone was at home on my couch, so I don't have any proof - and the snow has been melting like.... like.... like a pair of edible panties in a sauna? Too crass? Just crass enough?
I've had my office window open all week, and with the exception of that one wretched spider I had to kill, it's been great!
My small windowsill garden seems to realize it's spring, and little blossoms have begun - a couple of visual treats:
