It was fifty-four degrees today.
Ahem. It was FIFTY-FOUR DEGREES today!!!!! And sunny.
It's funny - I forget just how good fifty degrees feels on your skin every year. Maybe it's because the last time we felt fifty degrees around here was when it was a low - definitely not worth celebrating.
But today there was rejoicing! And much running and looking at things - at the pale green veil that is just (just) starting to creep over everything, at the cool clear water still rippling behind the house. R and I went for the mail and spent some time walking over the old bridge that runs through the village. I'd never done that before - and now I can't figure out why not. Must take the camera next time, though....
And now I'm just about to light a (small) fire for tonight to keep the night-chill out, while Cass reads aloud ('There's a Giant Jumperee in Rabbit's bureau!') and Rosey rocks on her rocker.
I think it's now officially Spring.

Yes! And even at 54 I let my kids get in shorts. Swore I never would be you know, it makes them so happy to triumph over weather. Crazy kids. I'm wearing my woolly!
It's here too. Ahhhh!
And a long time coming, too... The next few days look glorious here, too, and I am so happy to wear a light jacket, not a parka. At last!
Oh dear, spring over your way means winter is definitely creeping closer over here!!
