It is finally spring. How do I know? Squirrels? They have made an appearance but that’s not it. Birds? The Mountain Jays are back, but that’s not it. The rain-like sound of snow melting off the roof? A very welcome sound, but that’s not it. How do I know it is spring? Because of the way we are dressed.
This morning I had on my workout clothes, with a fleece shirt over the T-shirt, and a jacket and of course sneakers and socks. While I was working out, a young woman came into the office in a spaghetti-strapped very short dress and flip-flops. No sleeves, no jacket. While we were eating lunch, people coming into the restaurant were in long pants, jackets with scarves and brightly colored light-weight spring suits and dresses. Fashion is running the gamut. Spring is here!
As the temperature continues to rise, those of us who are still in fleece and long sleeves and shoes with toes (because of snowy slush and cold, puddled water) will evolve into lighter weight clothing and sandals. I can hardly wait for sandals. And while there are still 4 to 5 feet of snow on my deck and a chance of sloshing through melting snow, I will keep my feet warm and my body covered. I am satisfied with knowing that others are already in sandals and short sleeves because Spring is finally here!
