Well, here in sunny AZ it has been 80 several times in the past week. We hit 81 on New Year's Day. It is beautiful this time of year; not too hot, pleasant to go out walking. All that said, as a native NewEnglander (Boston area) I so miss the thrill of those first spring days with the smell of clean air, the slight bit of warmth with a promise of more, the buds peeking up and the fun of raking the wet leaves off to find my sweet spring bulbs from past years all blooming. But the one single thing I miss the most is the first few days when we would open all the windows, and the first nights when we could sleep with the windows open and we'd wake to the sound of birds chirping. Oh, I just loved that! Enjoy spring wherever you are!
