Hello, Spring?

I think spring is almost here.

Even though it snowed yesterday.

Even though I still crank the heater in my van up to 90.

Even though I'm still wearing my big coat and furry boots.

Even though the trees are still bare and the dirt is still brown.

I know spring is almost here because MY ALLERGIES ARE BACK.

I've got the sniffles and my arms have broken out in a rash. My eyes are itching and I wish there was a way to scratch the back of my throat. My body is telling me something my eyes can't see. And for once, I don't mind the allergies because winter is almost over! And I bet I'm more reliable than that darn groundhog.

How about you? Are you close to spring where you are, or does it still feel decades away? Or do you live in perpetual spring weather? (If you do, boy, am I jealous of you!)

By the way, on Thursday I'm planning to review the SNOWBOUND HEARTS anthology. Bloggy buddy Jen Daiker's romantic short story is in it!
