It was 71 degrees this afternoon and the sky was that perfect clear blue. I wore a t-shirt, no jacket, and drove around with the sunroof open. The only thing missing was leaves on trees. You can fool yourself for a bit thinking Spring is here, but then you catch a glimpse of those bare trees and reality sets in. Oklahoma may be "down south", but we have our share of crappy winter weather. In fact, we've had a number of snowy days already, but everyone from around here knows darn well that the Winter has not yet had it's way with us. It's teasing us with this taste of Spring only to dump something or other on us a week from now.
Teasing aside, I really enjoy such days. Were the kids with me, it would have definitely been a park-going day. But they have gone back to their grandmothers for more Christmas spoils, and will stay for a few more days.
I suppose I shouldn't complain, given Winter could behave more Winter-like on a whim. But still, Spring ol' buddy, please, get here soon.
