I have given up on thinking I can make spring happen by dressing for warmer weather.
I've moved on to thinking I can make spring happen by buying a grill and a hammock, maybe some patio furniture.
The fact that my first attempt at this required me to drive through snow and sleet to Ocean State Job Lots, where I did not, in fact, find a grill or hammock or patio furniture that I liked might not bode well.
Neil always teases me for the fact that I bring out the flowery skirts and flip-flops in February in an effort to delude myself into believing it is spring. I say, what's wrong with that?! As long as you don't mind chilly ankles, that is.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find a hammock, and a grill that you can turn on next to it to keep you warm until the actual Spring weather catches up with the Spring attitude ;-)
By the end of winter, I am usually so ready for spring that I start wearing spring clothes (albeit with coats sometimes). I am so desperate for showing some skin that I don't even care if I'm cold any more. It's irrelevant. I've moved on.
ReplyDeleteI like Lisa's suggestion that you turn the grill on for warmth. That seems perfect! But keep yourself rare.
(trying to decide whether face-on-fire jokes have run their course)
ReplyDeleteGosh, I miss those late winters in NH. How awful to have tulips already.
ReplyDeleteThere is some truth to that. Even after a quarter of a century of early springs following mild winters it doesn't feel right. I don't feel like I deserve spring yet. It hasn't been cold or long enough.
Gotta go mow the lawn, now.
I made spring happen by buying a motorcycle.
