HNT ~ Pushing Spring

The weather around here lately has been lovely, often rising above freezing during the day. I've been listening to the snow melting and dripping down the downspouts, and smelling scents I normally associate with March and April... you know ~ that 'Spring' smell.

The temperature is dipping back down toward normal tonight, and there's snow in the forecast. I'm sorry to see the warm temperatures go, even if it was inevitable.

I guess I was... pushing Spring.

One of my all-time top five (you've all seen High Fidelity, yes?) favorite songs... and one I strongly associate with Spring...

The Rain Song

It is the springtime of my loving

The second season I am to know

You are the sunlight in my growing

So little warmth I've felt before.

It isn't hard to feel me glowing

I watched the fire that grew so low.

It is the summer of my smiles

Flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.

Speak to me only with your eyes.

It is to you I give this tune.

Ain't so hard to recognize

These things are clear to all from

time to time.

Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter

I never thought it would ever go.

I cursed the gloom that set upon us...

But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion

and like the winds they rise and fall

This is the wonder of devotion

I seek the torch we all must hold.

This is the mystery of the quotient

Upon us all a little rain must fall...

It's just a little rain...
