19. The thing that spoils spring for me...

Sun Jun 19, 2016, 07:27 PM

Jun 2016

is the knowledge that summer is on its heels.

But I really do enjoy spring-- all the flowers, the rain (I hope), etc. Lots of positives.

It would be pretty boring if there weren't any seasons, but people from the east say that out west, we
really don't have any!

Rain is fine for winter but snow? No thanks.
