summer approacheth

Well, the time has come in my seaside town where all the people from away come tripping happily back and start swarming the streets. I can't say I'm particularly thrilled. Gone are the wonderful winter days of sloth-like enjoyment, gone is the knitting by the fireside, the hot cocoa, the beautiful snow (although we didn't get as much as last year, pity).
78 degrees today. And so it begins.
However, the primrose and pansy and lamb's ear are all popping up out of the ground, which warms my heart. Spring, I greet thee! Since there is nothing I can possibly do to prolong the seasons, except to move somewhere in the southern hemisphere (New Zealand perhaps) I might as well accept them as they are.
