Well, the reservoir is slowly becoming ice-free, so spring must be here. It's still around 0C in the mornings though. But the buds on the trees are slowly starting to unfurl. I wasn't here last spring and can't remember the previous spring so... for me this seems like a very long winter and a very slow spring and maybe even a short summer. I've heard various predictions - long hot summer, short wet summer... I guess we'll just have to wait and see what Mother Nature brings us.
One thing with the weather is this... I can't keep waiting for the weather to be right for me to do things. I get on my bike in the mornings weather it's warm or chilly. If I keep waiting for it to warm up, it will be August before I get on my bike! Of course, the weather is always a great excuse for not doing things, or for putting things off indefinitely... It's part of that little procrastination habit that we've all picked up. We look around and find all sorts of reasons why we can't do certain things... we can create excuses out of the smallest thing.
For me, the nasty thing with excuses is... I don't even realize that is what they are. They camouflage themselves as reasonable comments. They hide as justifications. They lurk in the shadows and I think that they are actually quite logical. But when I realize how they are keeping things from moving forward... well, then something can start to happen.
