Today is a glorious day, one to be written about in tones usually reserved for the laying down of arms or heavenly proclamations. A day that, a month ago, mired in the frozen slush and bogged down by eighteen layers of clothes, I never thought would arrive. And yet, here it is, sneaking in with no fanfare or declaration, surprising us all. A momentous, memorable, spectacular day.

I am only wearing one pair of pants.

Because it's 38 degrees! It's so amazing, even though the sidewalks are like fast-running creeks and water is everywhere and my socks are wet, because it means things are MELTING!!! Grass, I saw GRASS! That green stuff that covers the ground most of the time! And the forecast lists above-freezing highs for the next ten days! Exclamation point!

Now I'm daydreaming about flowers and sitting outside by the lake. I know we're probably in for at least one more snowstorm, but things are finally looking up. I wonder if Mayor Dave's "Screw You, Winter" official proclamation had something to do with it.

WWTL: Yellow.
Temp: 38!!!
