canyonwalkerToday is the 3rd day of Spring, the first having been Sunday after the Spring Equinox occurred in the morning. Signs of the changing seasons are all around here already. Of course they have been for months already. Most of January and the first half of February were abnormally dry and warm. Today the temperature at home is forecast to hit 80°, and it isn't even the first time this year. It was 80° on Feb. 13!
While today is only the 3rd day of Spring I'm ready to call it the 1st day of Summer. It's not just the warm temperatures today; it's my unofficial standard that summer begins when a) I choose to wear shorts for the day instead of trousers— check— and b) we start running the air conditioner instead of the heat.We'll probably switch the A/C on within an hour I switched the A/C on at 11:15am as we're both working from home today.
