Green! Green! Green!

Yes, I know St. Patty's Day was last week. I'm talking about real Spring green, the very first patches of green I've seen on the ground in six months. We had a great hard rain this afternoon, pouring so forcefully that we could barely hear each other talk in my writing class at The Loft on the third floor. Later, when I walked out of the library, my eyes perked up to the sight of bright grass tendrils, glowing so greenly from the wet ground. Yippee! There is hope! Spring is here!

I've heard that it might reach 65 degrees tomorrow, which after a cold winter, feels pretty hot. Every Minnesotan you see walking around outside will be shining, lit up with joy from the good weather. We get "high" in the Spring, with the lush intoxicating sunlight stroking our skin. Nobody quite enjoys good weather like those of us who have wicked winters!
