Karen talks a lot about the crazy, ever-changing weather she experiences over in England. I, on the other hand, am relishing the constant atmosphere here….sunny, cool, and completely gorgeous. Someone told me back in the fall that spring here begins on Valentine’s Day, and that has proved true so far. With the exception of some rain last weekend, the days have been picture-perfect, and the nights cool and comfortable. This afternoon I rode around campus on my bike for almost 45 minutes, just because I couldn’t bear the thought of going inside. When I finally got home, I opened the window wide and left the heavy doors open to let the day come in through the screens. It’s absolutely beautiful today.
