Where are you Spring?

Since early in the month of March, we have been bracing ourselves for Spring's arrival. After all, March is officially the first month of Spring. It is the month when school's let out for "Spring Break", the trees start to bud, and daylight savings time occurs.

However, Spring doesn't always spring when we would like it to here in Pennsylvania. After being indoors all winter, the kiddos (as well as Mom and Dad) are ready to run wild outdoors. Katie wants desperatly to put on her "Princess" helmet and pedal her bike, while Conor waits to take his first ride in the "Big Red Car". Therefore, when the weather man projects high temperatures in the upper forties, we hope maybe (just maybe) the winds will be calm and we can make it outside for a quick run on the swings.

Yesterday, was just that day. For a small window before dinner, the kids were able to let loose on the swings and enjoy warmer weather...a balmy 54 degrees!

While I am not ready to call it Spring, I am hopeful that warmer weather lie ahead. On the other hand, today is the first day of April and with it comes rain outside my window... Where are you Spring?
