The Pathetic Slowness of Spring

It may be an old man's limited memory ( ar at least how much of my memory is accessible) of what life use to be like - but it seems to me that this spring has taken longer than normal to get going.

I like spring - it is nice to have mildly warm days with gentle winds reminding us that summer will eventually come. But this year, I am not too sure if that is going to happen. I am afraid we are going to go from reasonably cool days into hot weather without that couple of weeks of spring. That would be a shame.

But then what do I know?
