The coming of spring is only the first drop. There is much more desire, much more mystery, much more adventure. Winter has impregnated us with an urge to burst out, touch the grass, make the many metaphors of love, and do what is good. To that, I raise my mug of black tea, in honor of what is taught, in thanks for what is received.

Okay, I assume this means the boys will be taking off their shirts now? And the girls will be wearing less (shirtless, even)??

Also, I'm going up to the country house sometime this week for pictures of Texas wildflowers. Stay tuned.

Considering it's allegedly spring, we've had decidedly arctic weather of late...

28 freakin degrees Fahrenheit.

That's all I have to say about that.

The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.

My great grandfather's middle name was Vernal.

It was Laverne at first, but he changed it when he reached the age of majority.

I like Vernal better, too.

Spring my ass.

Whaddayou, in jail?
