Spring is easing its way in

Despite the cherry blossoms that snowed down during our "Spring Olympics", Vancouver's spring has been fading in and out this year. We've had wind storms, hail, and cold days, as well as sunny days and some of our usual rain, rain, and more rain.

Usually by April, I've been able to downgrade to just wearing a fleece hoody, even for my morning walking commute. Usually by now, I can stop using my electric heater at work.

I still have my headband and gloves in my winter jacket pockets, and I'm wearing them at least once a day. I'm still keeping my office door shut tight all the time and using the heater at least once a day. I did finally get to wash my wool hat and my mittens this weekend and put them into storage for the year. Spring is coming, slowly but eventually.
