Spring is here, #$%^&

  

It has become abundantly apparent that spring has officially sprung in our neck of the woods.  Though we have yet to see rain drops, we have bulbs and trees blooming everywhere, birds of all kinds flitting about and singing, a few trees beginning to leaf out.  Days are nearly always warm and my Keens and capris are out of hibernation.

While all that is well and good, this does mean that:
- allergy season is here with its itchy eyes, sneezing and the rest
- days that are currently warm will soon be HOT.  I hate hot, I loathe hot, I want to tear my skin off when it's hot.
- it's windy.  Not a gentle breeze, a rip-your-face-off wind at least once a week.
- sunblock season is right around the corner and I have a red-haired, white skinned child with a sunscreen allergy bad enough that she resembles Violet Beuregarde when the wrong sort is applied.
- did I mention it's going to get hot? Because I hate that.

Ah well, the seasons will do what they will whether I like it or not.  I guess I'll hope to win the lottery without buying tickets so that I can install central air.
