For those of you in other parts of the country, ignore this. Yes, we've had warm temperatures in the last few months. Yes, the grass is green and the trees are in bloom. But tonight. Tonight in eastern Wisconsin, on the shores of Lake Michigan (yes- it is "cooler near the lake"!), it is the first "official" night of spring!
After forty-days and forty-nights of rain (ok. five.), the skies cleared, the sun shone, the temperatures topped 70 and I am able to sit on my deck at 9:00 in the evening, in shorts, with a glass of wine, and relax. The grass is harvested. The kids are in bed. And it is the most calm, peaceful 57 degree night this year.
