Five Things that Don't Suck, Warm Weekend Edition

1. going outside in the morning on a day that smells like it's going to warm up*
2. asparagus
3. seeing some patches of ground
4. having all of the ice off the driveway before the next batch of snow hits for a change
5. hearing your first phoebe since, say, October**

*if you don't know what I'm talking about, pay attention in late March or early April (or whenever the early days of spring hit in your area. Signs: cold nights, moisture in the air [preferably from melting snow], sunny days). Then inhale. That's the scent of hope, my friends.

**happened to me yesterday. I got ridiculously excited.
