Ahhh... the birds are chirping, the trees are budding, the sun is shining, kids are playing - all the telltale signs of spring. But it isn't spring - it's the middle of February.
Weather like this makes me want to wear sandals and shorts. It makes me want to fire up the grill and cook some fish and shrimp. It makes me want to put all of my sweaters in a storage bin and shove it to the back of the closet, not to be opened until next November.
I know that the minute that I do any of those things the days will get grayer, the sun will feel colder, the wind will blow harder, and it will be February again. The birds will stop chirping, the buds on all the trees will die, and the kids will go back inside to play on their Wii.
But, in the very least, it feels wonderful outside today and the sun is thawing out my Seasonal Affective Disorder. If this is what global warming is going to be like, then I just may quit walking everywhere and go buy an SUV.
