it is spring

it is spring.

march, to me, is the arrival of spring. it might be a false one. we might sit here in a month with beautiful snowflakes settling over the world one last time, but for now, it's spring. my calendar says so.

this is what it was like this weekend.

temperatures are in the (for me) ideal range of 15-20 degrees again. i am keeping my window open for extended periods of time. i could sit around at home in a t-shirt without freezing but i still like the cozy warmth of wearing a sweater over it. a light, cool breeze caresses my face. i have exchanged my winter jacket for my windbreaker. flowers are starting to bloom.

i do love spring. i used to be big about autumn, probably for emo reasons, but i've since grown up and seen the light. spring is the perfect season except that it's far too short. the world is waking up and becoming alive again. sunlight that warms but doesn't burn. breezes that are cool but don't freeze. soon, there will be butterflies and bumblebees and dandelions. my birthday.

i'm very happy that it's spring. i've missed her.
