Back in the Swing of Spring

My head turned on my way to work this morning. A skirt, a switch, bare legs. I’m just glad I didn’t walk into anything. The next few days are supposed to be lovely.

Man, how I love this city.

That was one of the benefits of living in the South: spring came in February.

It's what makes the long winter worth trudging through...man, the payoff is always so sweet. And the blossoms haven't even begun to sprout yet. I LOVE spring.

When I was in law school, the first warm sunny day of the year was always an excellent one, as the law school building was next to the only grassy area of any decent size on the whole campus.

I also fondly recall the first warm sunny day in college, as the grassy knoll outside the freshman dorm was the best place for catching rays, and I had to walk past it to get to and from classes.

Ah, the good old days.

[10] I hear ya; I've been finding myself staying up until four in the morning and sleeping until someone calls me; usually around 8-9 am but occasionally until noon. I'll be in readiness for a month-long gig I'm starting next week, tho.
