This has been spring break week. Frankly, it has been one of those near perfect spring breaks. If you live up north, you would rarely get such a beautiful week in March. In Texas, the odds are greatly in your favor. This week has been one of those not uncommon but still unappreciated jewels of the Texas life. It is one of those weeks we will look back on in August and say, “Why couldn’t spring have stayed around a little longer?” I want to say without hesitation, “I am grateful for it!!”

Very breezy: As the week has progressed and the temperatures have climbed, the southern breeze has been largely responsible. The same breeze that brings the warm temperatures seems intent on bringing every allergen it can grab on it’s way up to DFW. Some allergens are grown locally, but importing them is an added bonus when you live here. A couple stretches of the walk had me wanting to walk sidewalks to reduce my profile and the resistance of the wind to my passage. The wind likely affected all of us who were out walking. I think I sneered pretty well at the wind, but it did a pretty good job sneering back at me. The wind may have claimed a victory. As long as I arrived home safely, I was victorious, too!
