It's the first day of spring, but it's sure been feeling a lot like summer around here. Apparently we're in for a few more days of extra-warm temps before they drop back down to normal. I'm no fool (I was born during a massive snowstorm in April) so I know better than to get used to it, but in the meantime we've been taking advantage...
To celebrate the first day of spring, we took a long walk down one of our beloved Hudson trails. We were a little startled that it was warm enough for short sleeves - but it sure felt good. Later, we'll be barbecuing some burgers and perhaps whipping up a margarita or three.
Years ago a dear friend of mine introduced me to the tradition of Persian New Year - I couldn't agree more that the new year should begin on the first day of spring! So much more appropriate than during the freezing, dark days of January, no? Happy Norooz! Hope you all do a little celebrating today.
