The Plight of a Spring day

So, as you know, last week we celebrated the first day of spring. Hooray! Does that mean the cold snaps and surprise snowfalls will come to an end? I hope so, but its hard to tell in Washington. Predicting the weather here is like predicting the weather in Minnesota. You never know what you're gonna get. All you can do is pray for sunshine at night, and cautiously peel back the curtains to look outside in the morning. I do that often with a grimace, much like taking off a band-aid. That's pretty sad, don't you think?

I wonder what it would be like to wake up to the sunshine and warm weather everyday. I guess it could get old. You wake up and peel back the curtains with a smile and squinty eyes instead. When the unexpected rain or snowfall comes, it would be met with celebration and a day of cancellations... for good reasons, or course.

I guess I'm ok with Spring in Spokane. I might not be met with the sunshine, but I always wake up to a breath-taking view of the mountains!
