Where the hell is spring?

We spent a good part of the day yesterday at a friend of Bobs' named Wyatt. He was having a birthday party and had upwards of 15-20 kids over, and it was a great time. It was an outdoor cookout, and intuition would tell you that a Memorial Day weekend cookout would be a surefire bet for a nice outdoor time.

It didn't get above about 50 yesterday. It was freezing cold, there was a chill wind, and it was just generally unpleasant for anyone who wasn't wearing a jacket.

It occurred to me through the course of this that there hasn't been a week so far this spring where one of Bob's little league games or practices hasn't been washed out because of rain. It's just been a rotten, cold, wet spring so far, near as I can tell, although there have been a few beautiful days here and there.

Nothing much more to it than that. After a long and snowy winter, I was looking forward to spring, but so far, it hasn't been all that great. Blah.
