Now that CCSU students are back from Spring Break, and the baseball season begins on Sunday night, the unofficial signs of Spring are all around us. But does it "feel" like Spring? For many, that's a difficult question to answer because there's no way to define what Spring "feels" like.
For me, the temperature is not the deciding factor. We've had a few days in the past week where the temperature has reached the upper 50's. And there hasn't been any snow in Connecticut in awhile, so any "winter-like feel" is most assuredly gone.
So why does it feel like Spring? I guess it's because the crocuses are out, there are some patches of green on the front lawn, and the robins and rabbits are all around my backyard. For me, this is a great time of year. We come out of the long, gray, winter, and colors start to appear everywhere. And there's a fresh scent to the air in the early morning that hasn't been around since early September.
