I want Sunshine
I must say old man winter needs to hurry up and go into hibernation. Spring was buoyantly on it's way with crocuses and daffodils showing their pretty faces. Then, just like Kentucky weather, the temperature plummits into the thirties and doesn't get much past the forties for an entire week. Some may be used to this cycle of beautiful to dreary and back again, and in the middle of the winter when everything is dead anyway, I cherish those 70 degree days, but when the flowers and trees are beginning to bloom and there are tiny snow flurries falling from grey skies it just pisses me off. It's like mother nature tricked them. Oh here's some rain and sunshine and above freezing temperatures for all you little creatures of spring...flourish and make people smile and then see if you can withstand the snow. It is just cruel. I woke up on Tuesday thrilled that school was the only thing I had on my agenda for the day. I dressed in my warmest sweatpants with legwarmers and all, and proceeded to Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) to learn about various pathogens. As soon as I left my house I couldn't wait to get back and not leave again until the weather straightened itself out. Blame it on the horomones but I was so saddened by what I saw on my little adventure that I almost actually cried. The daffodils looked so sad. They were facing toward the ground and drooping over like a giant just came and stomped all their loved ones into the ground. I simply couldn't take it but somehow managed to hold back my tears. I just had to avert my eyes whenever I passed a cheerless little bundle. I'm just glad it wasn't the tulips. Being my favorite flower of all times I am sure I would have lost it completely and had to stay indoors until May, when (hopefully) the thirties would be a thing of the past. So hurry it up mother nature...I am in need of some sunshine and color in this world. I want to roll my windows down and feel the breeze on my skin as I drive around town and I don't want to have to turn on the heat to enjoy it. Perhaps for my birthday, which is in 20 days, my needs will be met. Until it happens I'll just indulge in some photos.

Winter, the unkindest cut of all, stepping all over Spring's buds, blossoms and fragrant blooms.

Thanks global warming for messing up our climate... give it another 50 years then you'll really be complaining!
