It is rather amazing, the effect the weather has on our moods and outlooks.<br /><br />Jocelyn - Well, our first blast of spring lasted all of about two days. It's been cold most of the past couple of weeks. Well, cold for here. But not a bit of snow.Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-80285959150800793602013-03-18T23:16:29.833-05:002013-03-18T23:16:29.833-05:00Clearly, we live in dramatically different parts o...Clearly, we live in dramatically different parts of the country (HELLO, five inches of snow today!), yet our current posts have some overlaps.

It's something far better lived than imagined, breathed in than read, experienced than not. But better it be written, than forgotten.</i> - I loved that paragraph. Spring is like magic. I love how everyone's in a great mood and time skims by, nothing seeming as stressful as it did the day before on that first bright morning of the season.
