Day 5 - 110 -- Enjoying the Day

Some of the work on the 'to do' list was completed today and some wasn't. Too many items were placed on the list yet again. Tomorrow will have time to attend to one or two of the remaining items that need to be done for next week. The weather was a usual grey spring day in the maritimes. I headed out for a walk in the evening and to give a colleague a break during an evening exam. My black coat showed the white precipitation very clearly <smile>. The ground is warm, so it melted on contact. Only windshields and grass showed a bit of white cover. As I walked over the bridge on the way home from campus, the brook was running high and the trees were filled with crows having their evening meeting and debriefing of their respective days. Such intriguing creatures.

While many people, including meteorologists, insist this is not spring, it is. Every year this happens. Spring is not Summer, but is a transition between Winter and Summer. Logic would dictate then that we'd see weather from both seasons during the transition season. We are one-third through Spring, so expecting June weather now is not reasonable. It will come. Be patient. Breathe and enjoy the day as it presents itself.

A song that seems to fit the idea of taking the season as it unfolds is shared here tonight. The singer came from my encounter on the bridge. Enjoy!
