The seasons, they are a-changin'
I love this time of year. The cusp between winter and spring. It's just perfect. Signs that it's coming on:
- I can have breakfast on the back deck. I ate out on the deck this morning, and it was just magnificent. Over the winter, it's easy to forget just how nice it can be to sit and watch the birdies fly and tweet and carry on. But once it's warm enough in the mornings, having breakfast on the desk is just grand.
- The sun's getting up earlier.. which means I am too (I'm a seasonal sleeper, although this year for some reason I've maintained my early-rising sleeping habits throughout winter). Watching the sun rise while having my deck breakfast, or whilst on a ride - magic.
- Sleeping in fewer than three layers of clothes. Nothing says "here comes the warm weather" like sleeping in your boxers.
- It's still light when I get home. This is truly the best part. I feel like the day still has so much potential.
- Crickets chirping/froggies croaking.
- Morning rides can start earlier and require far less preparation (read: fewer layers)
- I can have a ride after work if I'm so inclined
- Driving in the mornings with the windows down
- Being able to drive without having to defrost any part of the car.
- It's not too hot yet, but the winter cold is definitely on the way out. Daytime weather is just perfect for riding.
When I went outside today to drive to work, I took one look at the world and felt good. I love this time of year.
