Spring...is it here?

The last two days have been about 60 degrees and very sunny. Flowers are coming up in the parks. Some of the French are no longer wearing pitch black, instead shifting to the much more festive and flamboyant shade known as "black-as-coal".  Troy no longer goes to work in the dark only to walk home in a new dark. Have we finally turned the corner? Is printemps here? 

Editor's note:  Paris is about the same latitude as the North Dakota/Canada border. Don't hate the monkeys because they're having spring despite their northernness. Hate them because they are beautiful.

I saw some actual Parisian necks today. They left their scarfs at home I suppose!

It's been relatively mild in New England this last week. Yesterday, some fool said that he was glad spring was here. I laughed at him and schooled him. I bet him that we would get at least one more 6 inch snowfall before May, and at least thee more days of daylight temperatures in the teens.

It'd be fabulous to be wrong!
