Is it Springtime or Am I still dreaming?

Funny how you look and see the crocuses sprouting up and the yellow flowers peeking out, only to feel a cold blast of air hit you in the face. You know it's spring, but it feels like winter. Mother nature, some say, is fickle...especially in March. You can have one day when it feels almost like summer. Then the next day it feels like winter...and you can see the snow falling!!! I know I'll be glad when the weather settles down. It's no fun to feel as if you can't really go without a coat, even though the sun is shining. Yet...then you have those days when you just have to leave the coat behind...and you want to...because you don't feel like carrying that heavy coat around with you.

Could I be dreaming that it's spring? No. The calendar says it's spring. We turned the clocks forward to embrace the longer days and shorter nights. Yet it feels like winter. I imagine the snow under my feet...some of us don't have to imagine it...it's still here. I do love spring. I love the feeling of renewal and seeing the trees and bushes start to bud.
