I spent most of the eighties in southern California and became resigned to a kind of flattish sine wave seasonal cycle – warm/ not as warm/ coolish/ intermittent rain – that had nor discernible signposts for what season was actually on deck.

If I get up early enough, there are four days every year when I can KNOW the page has turned. Our spring began about a week back; I felt it happen at dawn right on my front porch. The strawberry blossoms in the planter confirmed the event, too.

Oh, and it was snowing when I woke up this morning. But the milepost has been passed.
