"Every year, back come Spring, with nasty little birds yapping their fool heads off and the ground all mucked up with plants."

-Dorothy Parker

Spring has never been my favorite season. In fact, it may be my least favorite. Being raised in the Rocky Mountains, winters can sometimes be hard and even brutal. Even so, xmas is in the winter as are snowy nights spent naked with my sweetie by the fire sipping liquored coffee. Ok, that technically only happened the one time, but it was in the winter so winters arent all bad.

I grew up as a ranch hand. I can remember being as young as 3 (possibly younger) and going out at 4am to feed stock and irrigate the fields with my Great Grandfather. Sure, it's fun when you are too young to lift a bale or hold a shovel. All you do is fuck around and stomp in cow pies. But then someone notices when you grow bigger and they hand you a bale and a shovel.

My point is that with spring came an exponential increase in the amount of chores.

And chores suck donkey ass.

So, yeah. Not thrilled with Spring. The weather is completely schizoid. It snowed a little last night and rained most of the day yesterday and was nice the day before and now its just overcast and cold today. Who is the goddess of Spring? Is it Ostara? Persephone? Whoever she is, the bitch needs a spanking.

Does anyone else have a least favorite season? My favorite season is Autumn. Maybe because my birthday is in the Autumn on Halloween. I don't know. Autumn just feels like...home.

Here is a fun pic I took of Angela and a model friend of ours. The looks on their faces are classic.
