It is bad enough complaining about winter during winter, but complaining about winter during spring should be illegal. Talk about March Madness. There should be a time-out called and the last week and a half gets a do-over. We should be able to file a complaint. But alas, there is no recourse , no authority to appeal to remedy this meteorological injustice. The calendar says spring is ten days old here in New England, but winter lingers on.
But so do the lava-lamps!
Each year on the first day of winter, we put our lava-lamps in the front windows to light the way wayward travelers. Nothing defies the winter chill quite like glowing, slow-pulsing lava lamps. Three months later, on the first day of spring, we take them down. But this year, the year of the winter that just won’t quit, we are breaking with tradition and leaving them up until spring finally does get here.
And that’s no April Fool’s!
