T Minus 17 days

March 3, 2009 by Wendy S

There is less than 3 weeks until the official start of spring (March 20th).  Unfortunately, Mother Nature doesn’t tend to follow the Gregorian calendar like we do.

As I look out my 4th floor office window, I see blue sky brightened by the sun.  There isn’t a cloud in the sky.

As I begin to lower my eyes, I see the tops of the trees…still leafless and brown.  Further down I see small piles of white snow and the roads are dusted with grey, dirty road salt/sand remains.  And I know that if I was to look at a thermometer it would read minus-something-horrible degrees Celsius.

I guess you can say “things are looking up”!  Well, I know that I will keep looking up to the blue sky.  I need spring to come.  I need warm weather.  I need walks outside with the girls without having to put on 18 layers of clothes, snow pants, hats, mitts, boots.  I need trips to the park not trips to the tobogganing hill.  I need drives in the car with my windows open not the heater on full blast.

So many things to look forward too.  If it could only come a bit sooner.
