Another year that spring rushed past us. So far, I have experienced spring ten times above 64 degrees. Yet, the astonishing speed of spring time continues to amaze me every single year. Last week there was still snow on the ground, and temperatures were around freezing. I wore my scarf, mittens and winter hat as I have been for the last eight months. Today, snow is gone, grass has turned green, and dandelions are blooming. In short, it feels like summer (and I finally shed my wool socks).

This breakneck speed always leaves me feeling a bit cheated. Where did the spring go?
