I’m sorry; I thought I could NOT write about it. 

I try and only write about things that are widely universal, things that everyone can relate to. (You know, like poop.) If it’s a personal matter, something that happens to me and only me, I try not to write about it.  Believe it or not, I do. 

Or if it’s something that’s EXTREMELY local.  If it’s something that people in the Shoals couldn’t grasp, for example, I might forego it.

But, guys, I have to talk about it.  I have to.

This friggin’ weather is INCREDIBLE.

I’m sorry if you live in Mobile or Denver, or if you’re overseas and you don’t know why this week has been so AMAZING for us here in Huntsville.  You’re truly missing out.  You should consider relocating.. but you’d better hurry.  Weather like this doesn’t last long.  Right now.  I mean, we’ll see it again for a week in March, then two weeks in April, and the rare “cool” days in May thru September.  But this.. ::deep breath:: AH.  So nice.

Today is the day you will see all of the windows open.  People in cars, people in houses, greenhouses.. all windows will be open.  Today is the kind of day where everyone dreams of doing their favorite thing EVER. (ex. “Today is the day to be at a beach..” or “.. in the garden”.. or “at an amusement park.”) Because, quite simply, today is PERFECT IN EVERY WAY.

My “today is the day to..”?  “.. be at the park.”  Days like this scream for me to go spread a blanket out by the Art Museum, where I can feel the spray of the fountain, and read until the sun disappears.  It reminds me of the many days Kevin and I did this, or the Concerts in the Park the Coven would attend, or the one date I tried to have with Bryan and (instead.. woo hoo) got eaten alive by chiggers AND stood up.  And tonight will be warm, like the night Bryan proposed to me, in that same spot.

This weather is my absolute favorite.  It makes me gloriously happy.

I hope everyone enjoys it.
