What Hope Looks Like

In light of Donald Trump leading in the polls and two elections for the presidency just now and all the shootings around the nation yesterday and today, I give you hope.

From a friend's Facebook page and post today. Friend Kevin Deen put this up. He lives in Waldo.

On that whole Daylight Savings Time thing

Winter last week...

Spring next week

Can you believe it?

This Saturday?

Already?

 

 

Heck yeah!

 

Bring it on!

This is mid-March?

While working Saturday, an ice cream truck came by. Today, the 13th of March--still winter--it is forecast to be 82 degrees. Tomorrow? 86 degrees. (Keep in mind that's nearly 90). Now? The lady next door is running her lawn mower. So I ask you---THIS IS MID-MARCH??

This is March?

More to the point, THIS IS STILL WINTER? I saw another forecast, from another one of the local news stations tonight and they called for 72 degrees and above for the entire upcoming week. We usually don't get that, I don't think, until May, for pity's sake. Yikes. This is wonderfully mild. Have a great weekend, y'all.

Spring?

All right, it's been dark and cold and snowy and icy and a really awful, old-fashioned January around here--in fact, over much of the US that gets a real winter--but the forecast for tomorrow is 55 degrees AND trout season officially opens tomorrow.

Spring can't be that far away now, right?

Enjoy the sunshine, y'all.

Sharp contrasts

 

Last evening on the Plaza was in sharp contrast to the night before, since the previous evening was all drinking and loud conversations.

As this shows, it was warm temperatures and wide open stores. It was really nice. While not yet completely, officially Spring, it surely felt like it.

And it's also in sharp contrast, apparently, to what it's going to be like on the Plaza this evening, when the rain comes in, and then this weekend, when the temperatures fall further and we get snow, if the forecast is correct.

But what the heck--last evening was terrific, Spring starts this weekend and next week has promises of temperatures in the 60's.

Somehow I think we'll make it.

Have a great weekend, everyone.
