Spring

Happy first day of Spring! I wanted to dress brightly for the occasion (this is a dress I found at the thrift shop in Austin). We were put on a flood watch yesterday, and were hit with a huge storm through the night (Texas has really big, loud, boisterous storms, I've noticed), so it was looking more grey and depressing earlier, but has slowly turned bright and cheerful out. I'm OK with some rainy, cooler weather, though, as I'm not certain that spring exists in Texas. (Spring in Pennsylvania I like. Spring in PA means "doing" homework outside by the Cathedral, and not wanting to go to class, and rain, yes, definitely in Pittsburgh, but also really nice days with friends, maybe getting your ears pierced, maybe talking to strangers.) Unless Texas spring is just the miserable, humid heat we've been having. Or maybe spring was those few really nice days we had in the middle of "winter." I don't know. I don't know your weird ways Texas. But for all intents and purposes, spring is here!
