Hard to have a real spring when you don’t have a winter to speak of. We have Sprimmer, warm weather grading into hot. Then four months from now comes a season called simply “Hot”, mid June through the end of October, when Falnter begins. Three seasons: Sprimmer, Hot, Falnter. Festivus is in there somewhere.

Anyhoo, the redbuds are blooming here, a sure sign Sprimmer has arrived….
