I know it’s a coast-to-coast question, but still, it bears asking: when is spring going to get here and stay here? Sure, we don’t have snow like Babcia has in Poland and folks here have up north. But still — we haven’t taken out our summer clothes because every time K thinks it’s time, we get a drop in temperature.

So the kids wear shorts every day that it’s feasible. The other day, it was 36 when we got up; the next day, it was 52. Tomorrow, back down to the low 40s.

All the flowers and berries are blooming, but if they had any kind of sentience, I would wonder if they really could make any more sense of it than we do.
