Pet Peeve #3

People who say "enjoy the spring weather" in February.


It's February.  It's still winter.


Just because you feel the need to walk around in flip-flops and not wear a coat does not mean it spring.


The fact that it is 60.5 degrees out does not make it spring.


If it were Spring, everyone would be giving away free kittens.  There would be beautiful pink and purple flowers everywhere.  The air would smell of hotdogs and be laced with allergens.  There would be bird poo on the sidewalk where snow was shoveled only weeks earlier.  And we would be anticipating finals week.


But no, sadly, it is still winter.  This is a trick.  Don't get your hopes up.  It will be 33 degrees again soon enough.  And for goodness sake, put your coat in the car and carry it around with you.  Obviously the weather is unpredictable.


"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." Genesis 8:22

  1. Well, just because it is not technically "Spring", doesn't mean that we can't enjoy it! Take what you can get!
