Hope Springs Eternal

This week has witnessed the subtle thawing of winter into spring. I think it's been over freezing every day this week, and even though it's raining tonight you can still be outside with just a fleece instead of winter coat and scarf. This is simply glorious.

And then this weekend is Daylight Savings Time. I'll gladly forgo that one hour of sleep on one night to have an extra hour of daylight every single day. Moving around in the warm daylight is such a mood enhancer.

  1. It's been in the 60's and 70's in Charlotte all week. I've been wearing short sleeves with no jacket at all. Three cheers for the south!!

  2. Dude, you need to move to the Carribean, or somewhere else that it's warm. Maybe open a Chatham Office in the Bahamas???

    The title of your post sent Mark Heard's song "Another Day in Limbo" ricocheting down the aural corridors in my mind...

    pray for the foothills
    iron horse with four wheels bucks a drunken rider
    pawns of the pawn kings
    corn silk of heartstrings tattered and blighted
    they sing in the sand for the son of the land
    who sought fire in water
    faith like a kernel rising up in thermals
    hope springs eternal once in a while

    blinking away the sunrise
    listening to the wind blow
    angels with dirty faces face another day in limbo
    beckoning fire from heaven
    everything seems so stone-cold
    beating the drums of change
    another day in limbo
