Blog City - Day 2827 Prompt: March Weather“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” Charles Dickens, Great Expectations How is the weather in March treating you where you are, this year? March raises our hopes even when it promises warmth, but batters us with wind. The trick is to find a sunny spot blocked from the wind and you can smile at that little corner of heaven after a harsh winter. Yesterday a good chunk of snow melted off our front yard. I can see grass packed down and weathered. I am hopeful. Birds dance over the matted leaves picking at any bits of life that hides in the grime. The cat is watchful and excited. We are not to disturb the leaves until 10 degrees Celsius is the norm. (That's 50F for my American friends). Today it promises 10 degrees Celsius. The sun is fighting to come out and stay and I long to take a walk and stretch my legs. Yesterday it was 16 and tomorrow is expected to be as well. But being March, the temperature can change on a dime. Negative temperatures can assail us. We need to be patient. Nothing too drastic from winter to spring - that can bring the flooding, so we pray for an ease into the season. That rarely happens. I still remember the year it was 30 degrees Celsius during March Break... that is only a week away. Crazy ass weather. I think that might of been the year we had our last snowstorm in mid-April. I'm just glad to see more sun and feel the grip of winter slip away. I long for the days I can sit outside on the front stoop and write. Soon, whispers the wind and I smile knowing nothing lasts forever, so savour it. The anticipation of spring is fantastical. I watch for robins to return. I may don my shoes for a walk. Get out of those heavy boots for a day. Can't put them away yet, but soon. |
