March weather: in like a lion, out like a freakin' snow-storm??

Dear Mother Nature,

So, let me start by saying sorry it's been so long since I've written. I guess I must have lost your email address or something. I don't know about you, but that's about the only way I ever write anyone any more. I can't think of the last time I sat down to write a snail-mail letter! Well, lucky you!

I won't beat around the bush here. The reason I'm writing is this weather thing. I mean, have you looked at the calendar recently? It's spring, mom! Not winter. What was up with that snow this morning??? My poor little daffadeedas were are covered in snow!! As I write this now it's kind of hailing, snowing, and raining all at the same time, and the sky is just a little bit blue. Weird stuff, girlfriend! What's that about? Did you go out partying last night, or what? I know it's "spring break" and all, but aren't we too old for that crazy party stuff?

Now I don't mean to make you feel bad or anything, but today is my birthday. It's OK if you forgot. I don't need a card or presents or anything. I kind of expected it to snow on my birthday back when I lived in Wisconsin and Illinois, but Portland?? That's just too crazy. Today I was kind of hoping for sunny skies. Like Monday. Monday was fantastic!! The kids and I went outside to play in the back yard!! We pulled weeds for a good 15 minutes before the kids got bored and started bugging me and throwing the basketball over the back hedge into the blackberry brambles, making me stop my weeding to go and get the ball every 2 minutes. But really, it was great. I think I might even have gotten a sunburn. So thanks for that great weather Monday. Just wondering if we're going to have any more of that...? Or is this whole snow deal going to go on and on? Does this have anything to do with that global warming thing?

Well, I guess that's all I really had to say. Hope you are all doing good. Kids all OK? Give 'em a hug from me. Drop me a line one of these days. And try to remember it's spring :-)

Love,
Renee
