This blog might be getting a little photo-heavy, but I have a digital camera now and want to take pictures all the time. Everybody likes pictures anyway.
Today I realized something: I actually enjoy talking about the weather. Perhaps it's in my genes as an Iowan, or maybe people in all states like to talk weather, but I'm fascinated by the conditions outside. This morning while waiting for the bus, I talked weather with this guy who also waits for the bus. We generally always discuss the temperature since we have to stand outside, by the highway no less, for five minutes each morning. (An aside about why I hate standing by the highway: First, the cars and trucks whiz by at 60 mph and sometimes kick up a lot of dust that blows on me. Second, the trucks honk at me. Third, it's just kind of ugly there. But, on the plus side, an orange cat lives in the ditch by the highway and I watch it sometimes.)
In the spring, each day's weather is exciting and different, so there is plenty to talk about. Today it was windy and cold. Yesterday it was nice and warm. Tomorrow it might be snowing. I think the bus stop guy likes weather, too, because he spoke with real amazement about it being cold today. That's the key you know. You have to believe that constantly commenting on the weather will force it to change. I also believe that if I check the forecast on the Weather Channel online enough times, it will get better, i.e. warmer.
Spring break is over, so it is officially the time when Laura gets spring fever. It affects me quite badly. I start to daydream about eating Tropical Snow and and getting my hair cut.
