This spring has been back and forth and all around in regards to weather. One day it’s sunny, eighty, and too hot to handle, the next it’s forty, rainy, and gloomy as can be, followed by another day in the mid-sixties with just the right amount of sunshine and a beautiful spring breeze.
I suppose a good balance of rain and sunshine are critical to the renewal that occurs in springtime, though rainy days seem to outnumber the sunny. Whatever the actual ratio, the grass is getting greener and the buds of trees are slowly but surely spreading into leaves. Some of the flowering trees and early daffodils have lost their luster, but other flowering trees are just blossoming and tulips and other flowers are making their debut.
Although the dark rainy days are kind of a bummer, I love when they are accompanied by thunderstorms, and I am glad for their ability to bring forth such colors and life. Not only do they rejuvenate, they also make the beautiful sunny days more appreciated… and I’m sure when I’m hugely pregnant and it’s 100 degrees outside in a few months, I’ll be wishing for a cool spring rain to wash away the uncomfortable heat.
