It feels like Spring. The sense struck me yesterday and kept lingering today. It's more than the temperature, though hitting the 60s for consecutive days certainly does add to the feeling. It can be above 50 for a break of everal days in the winter and it still doesn't feel like Spring. Today feels like Spring. Yesterday too.
There's something to the ground and definitely to the trees. New buds are showing and I have noticed more Asian beetles indoors. They're coming back out and life is returning. Forty geese fly above in a formation which is more checkmark than v. Even people linger. College students are outside playing soccer and the wind comes fiercely. Yet, it comes from the South as if it's been carrying the new season northward. I can smell it but don't know quite what it is.
Perhaps we're born to sense it. Perhaps, it could be 35 with a cold rain falling and we would still know. It's the time of year; the days are getting longer. There is something to this day, to this Spring.
