I Don't Want to Go Outside
My office hours on Tuesdays are 1-2:30pm. In that time, it has hailed thrice. Three small but violent and utterly miserable hailstorms. The third one just stopped, and right now the sun is shining. But based on the timing so far, the fourth is due to start about the same time I leave this building.
Also, I'm supposed to go to a Vernal Equinox thing at one of the local parks today. (I know the equinox isn't until Thursday. I didn't plan it. I'm just a lowly invitee.) But I'm not sure I want to stand in a hailstorm and say "Yay, spring." At this point, I'm more likely to shake my fist at the sky and say, "Fucking cut it out!"
In other spring-related news, however, I did do some weeding last weekend, and some seed planting (I know, it's way too early, but I couldn't stand it any more) and my snowdrops are up. I'm also seeing lots of buds on lots of shrubs and bushes. And hearing bunches of birdsong. It's so nice to have the season finally changing, even if it's supposed to snow tonight.
Ah. The cycle is speeding up. The sun is still shining, but the hail, it is falling again. And now it's stopped.
Fantastic. I forsee roughly six, seven hail flurries in my upcoming hike to the car.
