Flying high • click to embiggenIn recent posts I have pictured the some of the colors and sounds of Spring.
However, I have not pictured one of the absolute joys of Spring - fresh air and the warmth of the sun. Because Winter seemed to drag on and on and on this year, most people 'round these here parts are expressing a particularly keen appreciation of that particular joy. It just flat out feels good. Before too long, it should also start to look good as well.
As an added bonus, although I have no way of picturing it, there are 2 other joys of Spring that we are enjoying - the Pens beat the Sens in their first Stanley Cup playoff game, and Notre Dame beat Michigan in the semis of the NCAA Frozen Four. And, who knows, maybe Tiger will prevail at The Masters. There's a big Spring weekend ahead.
The only thing unsettling my Spring Sports Revelry at the moment is the question of why video camera makers insist on putting really inferior still-picture capabilities in their camcorders. What the hell is the point of that?

You're an Irish fan? You mean there's something else we have in common? There's hope yet!
While I don't miss the misery of winter, I do miss exactly what you're describing here. Most of all, I miss the trees (even when they're bare). We have trees, but like a lot of things here, they seem a bit "artificial". Although I do like the Joshua trees in bloom in the desert. I'll bet you don't find many of those in the Adirondacks!
Anyway, happy springtime. I hope you've seen the last of the white stuff.
the kid is having a good time with it
