Hot First Day Of Spring Sikes Lake Nature Communing
The temperature was almost 80 degrees, as measured by the Fahrenheit method, when I ventured to Sikes Lake for some pleasant nature communing, along with a surprisingly large number of fellow nature communers.
As you can see via the photo documentation of the view from the rocky eastern shore of Sikes Lake, looking southwest, it is a clear blue sky day, on what I think is the first day of the season known as Spring. But my wall calendar is telling me yesterday, March 19 was the day Spring arrived.
I must go Google now to find out, for sure, what season I am currently experiencing.
Well, according to Google my calendar is erroneous. The Vernal Equinox is happening today, March 20.
It seems like only a few weeks ago we were experiencing extreme Winter weather, with snow and a couple days with the temperature sub-zero. It seems like only a few weeks ago, because it was just a few weeks ago.
And now look at what our predicted high is two days from now, that being the day known as Sunday.
100 degrees in March just seems wrong. I suspect we are heading towards a record-breaking HOT summer.
