As I write, the temperature hovers above freezing. 35 degrees on May 14!
Cold spring days are the smell of cut grass in nippy air. They are the crisp edge of morning when dawn is brisk as well as bright. They are lingering dogwood, preserved by the chill.
The seasons bump up against each other, one ready to begin and the other not ready to leave.
I know how this story ends.
The question is when.
