May in Layers

I'm hoping this is the last day in May I wear three layers of clothing. I'm typing these words in my winter running tights, merino wool base layer, another wool sweater over that and a sweatshirt on top for good measure. 

I have fuzzy warm socks on my feet. And I think — yes, I'm sure, I can hear it humming — that the heat has just come on. And that means the temperature in the house has dipped down below 65. 

Yes, the planet is warming. And in a few days we may be sweltering. But that doesn't stop me from wishing I was in shorts and t-shirt right now.
