By my count, there are at least 64 days left until spring, and I’m resenting every last cold one of them. I’ve never liked January, February gives me a pain, and March is just one long muttering under my breath of “in like a lion, out like a lamb.” By the time I’ve eaten all my Christmas chocolate (which can typically happen before new Year’s Day) I am already thinking about spring.
