this month was full of nasty weather. it made me think of rachel, who always used to say that "april is the cruelest month." for a long time, i thought she was reponsible for that profound and timeless insight. then i found out that she was an english major, so of course, she was quoting t.s. eliot.
in any case, this april was yucky. we had a "northeaster" apparently, and though NYC was (thankfully) spared most of the resultant flooding, it was cold and rainy and gross for weeks after the lovely spring weather should've arrived. this was especially unwelcome because we got teased by some lovely 65-degree days in march... which were then followed by almost a month of wearing my big winter coat.
but then, this weekend, it suddenly got beautiful outside. sunshine and 70+ degrees outside. it was so nice all at once that i almost couldn't take it -- i just felt overwhelmed by the lovely weather. but i got over it, and we did, of course, make the most of it. we went walking around brooklyn and took naps and went to prospect park and played frisbee with rooms. it was a really relaxing and much needed weekend.
and now, that special time of year has officially arrived. the time when i put on my flip flops and refuse to take them off until labor day. yay! :)

Here in Kansas City, April seems to be the most unpredictable month. One day we have sleet and snow, the next day it's 85 and sunny. Yeah. Stupid crazy.
