Happy Saturday, everyone! It's me, Tucker ...
Yesterday was all sunshine and blue skies, with the added benefit of a lovely breeze that helped keep the sun from getting too hot. (Unfortunately, yesterday was a workday, so we didn't get too much time to really enjoy it. So I hope that this weekend will be more of the same!)
You know, here in Tampa ... it's a lovely time of year ... right now. But the truth is, we don't have spring like other places in the country have spring. We don't have the whole daffodils springing up from damp green earth thing going on down here, although the azaleas are lovely right now.
In fact, the "seasons" here often seem nonexistent, though a true native Floridian such as myself (a rare breed to be sure) can discern the difference. But you do have to pay attention. For example, our "spring" such as it is, can be rather short - sometimes it seems that as soon as we "spring forward" and start getting more hours in the day to do stuff like go to the dog park after dinner when it's still light out, Mr. Sunshine (and I don't mean Matthew Perry) seems to get significantly hotter ... and sometimes he gets so hot that he seems downright angry and almost as though he thinks we have misbehaved down here and he needs to punish us. I can't figure out why, because I am always a very good boy, and though they're not as good as me, my brothers and sisters are pretty good, too.
So Mr. Sunshine ... if you're listening ... we'd like to have several more weeks of this current weather, please. And if you oblige me today ... I think it'll be a perfect day for cruising with the sunroof open ...
Have a beautiful day, everyone!
