Today is the first day of spring. It is supposed to look like this:
This one of our pear trees, yesterday, when it was spring. However, today it is winter again, complete with snow and wind and freezing temperatures which could mean ice and probably the end of the lovely pear blossoms.
I haven't heard, officially, but I think this is probably the most peculiar winter in the history of, well, probably the entire planet. It isn't supposed to be snowing. We had the a/c on yesterday. I know this is Texas and the old saying goes "if you don't like the weather in Texas, just wait a minute and it will change". I think every state lays claim to that old saying but here it seems to be especially true, this winter at least.
So, I guess I will go curl up with my e-reader and finish the most ridiculous book ever published -- Bramwell Valley. I didn't say it wasn't a GOOD book, it is quite funny, but not my usual fare. It was, however, free from B&N and, until I have a little more faith and confidence in my Nook, I will continue to download "free". If you want to read something really, really silly, check out Bramwell Valley -- it won't disappoint.

That saying about waiting a minute certainly applies to Northern Virginia, too. It was beautiful over the weekend, and got up to near-80 degrees. Today, back to winter. If this is global warming, something has gone dismally wrong.
Yeah, I don't buy into that whole global warming thing -- especially right here with three snows in one winter, in Texas! Maybe somebody else's globe is warming but certainly not mine. And now, it appears we have morphed into the rainy season.
