THE GRASS IS HAPPY AND I THINK SO AM I

I may be jumping the gun by declaring that spring is just around the corner, but so be it. Despite my chilly walk to the car this evening, it has been a spring-y kind of day. I bought pussy willows on the way home and they made my day. Spring! And I've been listening to Sarah Harmer's You Were Here today, which is a perfect soundtrack for an early spring day.

All albums close to me evoke some kind of seasonal feeling, usually because of the lyrics and personal memories. You Were Here makes me think of sunny spring days. Tegan and Sara's This Business of Art is summery with its naivity and carefree guitar. Hawksley Workman's Lover/Fighter is most definitely fall, not only because of "Autumn's Here" and when I think of winter, I think of porch coversations and nightime snowfalls in February, I think Coldplay's Parachutes.

It's March now, I'm over the snow. I've almost had enough of seeing my own breath float in the cold air. I'm done with winter, but I am grateful for four seasons. Happy almost spring!
