Snow in the spring. On the one hand, it’s a beautiful thing. Like tonight – it’s falling in huge, mesmerizing flakes. It’s hard to deny how lovely it looks. But then, on the other hand, it seems to serve as a reminder that we live in New England and basically March in New England stinks. March here is filled with days that are 60 degrees, followed by a day of snow. We are expecting a few inches tonight – after 8 inches last weekend.

The good part is that the snow doesn’t last long. The snow from the huge storm last weekend is almost entirely gone. But still – MUST we still get snow at this point? Can’t we just actually have a real spring?

Each year I am hopeful that we will have a true spring. More than a couple of weeks of warmish weather. It has been a few years since we’ve had a spring like that – and they are few and far between, but I am hopeful. I’m hopeful that my 1st grader will have more than a handful of baseball games – that his practices and games won’t be continually rained out like they were last year. I am hopeful that we won’t go from freezing temps, to solid rain straight to hot/humid. There is always the chance that this will be the year! We’ll see. Think Spring.
