Yeah, I wore a wool turtleneck yesterday on our annual outing to the cherry blossom neighborhood. Full sun, though, to ward of the wind, and still beautiful!
ReplyDeleteRazor blade north wind???
ReplyDeletePerfect and Ugh!!!!
I hope that is not coming this way!!!
It seems as though it happens every year! Spring tries to come once or twice before it actually succeeds.
ReplyDeleteI have this affection for alliteration yet your poem is one reason why I'm not a big fan of spring. Here's to sunny and warmer days ahead!
ReplyDeleteWe had it last week, hoping for you it's over soon. #tiredofwool : )
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your north wind! We are blissfully enjoying spring. Hope spring comes to stay soon in your neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a 'sharp' description for the north wind, Mary Lee! Winter is set to return here on Tues/Wed with snow. My hubby has his motorcycle driver's license test (in German!) on Wednesday. Ugh. :)
