April is the coolest month.

We dipped below freezing the other night -- unusual at this time of April. Yes, April is the coolest month this year so far, meaning unseasonably chilly. And that damn windstorm that came through peeled a stack of shingles off the roof four inches thick. This morning is as foggy as a hangover.

Spring is like pizza, though, in that even when it's bad it's still pretty good. It's also like that crazy girlfriend who made you a basket case and dumped you but you couldn't shake for the longest time.

In years to come -- unless China keeps sending us more contagions -- we may look back on 2020 as having "the spring that wasn't," But rest assured that no matter what, spring was here.




Sometimes the seasons don't give us much, but sometimes it's enough.

  1. March came in like a lion and out like a slightly different lion. Downright gloomy going into April. Today is not so bad, but did not clear up until about 3 PM.
