And Winter's Back ...

Winter came and winter went
Winter didn't like where it was sent.
Winter came back to visit again,
Winter, winter - where you been?

Yes, I know.  Poetry for a six-year-old - terrific.  For a 56-year-old - pathetic.  But that's the way the weather works here in Nashville.  Any day it could be spring-like, and the next day the weather people are forecasting snow flurries (they forecast it quite often here - which usually means there shall be nary a flake).

Anyhow, just when we thought spring was here, and we were scampering about like Olaf in his dreams, a cold wave decided to come through.  The funny thing is how cold a relative cold wave seems, now that we've experienced warm weather.  Forty degrees now?  Brrrrr - turn up the heat!!  Forty degrees earlier this winter?  Heat wave!!

The current temps will only be around for a few days, when it shall return to spring.  Which has covered my car and caused my sinuses to go berserk.   But not to worry - May will soon be here, when we will not only experience spring, but also summer and winter - most likely in the same 24 hours!!

Winter, spring, summer, and fall
I know one place that has it all.
Cold and warm and wet and dry,
Want some weather? Give ours a try.
We like it all, or so we say,
We'll have a change by end of day.
And that's the weather for Nashville, y'all,
Today's forecast? Think wintsummsprifall!

Today was a great day because:  I accomplished many tasks; rented redbox movies
