We were discussing the weather the other day at lunch – how cold and wet it has been during a time that should be bright and sunny and a bit warmer. It suddenly came to me just how cold and nasty it’s been this spring. Every spring, as the weather warms, I stop wearing winter clothes and switch to lighter summer types with short sleeves and cropped pants. And every spring at least one student per period interrupts to say “Miss! You’ve got a tattoo?!?!”
So far this year, no one has said that. My secret tattoo - which really isn’t a secret or even in a place that wouldn’t be seen in a normal climate – is hidden from view. I’m still wearing at least two layers of clothes every day. I haven’t even been able to switch to summer shoes. This in turn makes it hard to believe that school is nearly out. It’s June for pete’s sake and it still feels like April.
Warm places look really good right now. Is there a place that gets moderately warm (above 70) on a regular basis and doesn’t rain on a near constant basis and isn’t California? I think I want to move there.
