Brr, It’s Cold!

Seattle broke its coldest high temperature record for yesterday when it reached 42° F.  I needed to go to work, I looked outside. It was snowing.  What?  I remember it snowing in April when I was a kid, so it’s not that it doesn’t happen this late. But I am ready to get out in the garden to enjoy the warmer temperatures of spring.  Do I need to get out there and perform some ritual to appease the weather gods?  Moreover, just what would that entail?  I won’t wash the car, as we know that will bring more rain, something we rarely need this time of year.  I could walk around while moving my hands upward to signify rising heat, maybe a little tap dance in between each raising of my arms. 

I thought I was through swallowing vitamin D capsules for the season. Unless things change in the next few days, March is going out like a lion.  Grr.
