Spring Tease

Oh, Mother Nature, you are such a tease! You had all of us going earlier this week. It hit a high of 81 degrees on Tuesday, and everyone started busting out their shorts and tees... The sun was shining bright, with the warm breeze hitting us as we strolled down the road. We were happy. It was finally Spring. The winter was a long, cold, brutal one - much colder than normal. But finally, you were giving us Spring.

Until yesterday. Well, Thursday, really, when it rained. All. Day. Long. Then yesterday you gave us a dreary day with a high of only 48 degrees.

Did we do something wrong? Did we not express enough gratitude for the gorgeous weather you gave us?? We really meant to, if we didn't! We won't have a lack of appreciation if you bring that beautiful weather back to us!

But more-so, think of the flowers and tree buds!! They, too, started coming out because Spring was here - don't freeze them out! Our neighbor's tulip tree popped earlier this week, but the wind and rain is quickly making all the flowers fall. Some bulbs started to bloom, but they're quickly becoming stunted with this cold weather! And the birds and other animals... They were so alive and full of spirit earlier this week. Now I barely hear a sound as they try to find shelter for the cold.

Please. Please bring back the Spring we so desperately want and need! There's rumor of the sun coming out today... but it's still hiding behind dreary clouds. Let it shine through and warm us back up. We will express so much more gratitude next time.

Sincerely,
Me
