I thought my new strategies were working last week. The signs that led me to this erroneous conclusion? At least five days of 50 degree and sunny weather--all in a row! The cherry trees covered their naked limbs in blushing pink blossoms. My house plants shook themselves awake to grown more in a week than they did all winter.
I celebrated by lying in the sun on my pink comforter. I started fantasizing about packing up my sweaters with cedar blocks in our basement storage bins. I also bought pansies and assorted "pretties" from Ravenna Gardens to put in my planter outside.
This morning I've had to concede that my efforts may not have had the long-lasting results I hoped for.
It is snowing. In Seattle. In March.
Needless to say, you will not see me wearing my long johns. Oh NO, this definitely calls for flip-flops and a tank top!

Bravo! I applaud your effort! Do you want to come to Spokane and wear your flip flops here too? I feel that spring is just around the corner, maybe you could just nudge her in (??) We got (what seemed to me as) a freak snow storm last week too! But nowit is mostly melted and gone.
I'll come wear my flip flops there, if you come wear your flip flops here. Just think of the combined power...we could be the flippin, floppin, spring-bring-ers!
