Well, I hate to go on and on about my somewhat dysfunctional relationship with Spring but…….. Bloody hell it’s April and why isn’t it warm yet? I want to catch Spring Fever. Mind you I am not interested in a repeat of last year’s meteorological disaster. Normal highs right now should be in the mid-50’s. If I get a day that’s 45 and sunny I’m practically kissing the ground in joy. You need sun, 60° temps, and some balmy air to catch Spring Fever. The official first day of Spring was March 20. No Spring Fever. On March 11 at 2:27 pm I found my first crocus in bloom. No Spring Fever. Our first daffodils really only came into full bloom about a week ago.
