How Quickly We Adapt

All things are, indeed, relative.  Friends "Outside" tell me they've got spring fever due to the sunshine and warming temperatures in their neck of the woods.  I, too, feel that same giddiness up here in Fairbanks.   Today's signs of spring include:

  • my car didn't need to be plugged in
  • I got to use my windshield wipers--and fluid--with confidence
  • I allowed the fire in the wood stove to go out this afternoon
  • my afternoon dog walk was done gloves- and hat-free
  • after leaving the gym, I actually lowered my car windows because it felt too hot in the car

Mind you, all this excitement came from a day that peaked out at 39 degrees!  I suspect the locals will be sporting shorts and tank tops soon!
