ah, spring. mud season. i miss the snow, but am enjoying the warm. i never thought that i would be putting the windows down in my car in temps WELL under 60 degrees F!

i spent the past saturday in collingwood, and on saturday night went to marcos' ski instructor party. the theme was jimmy buffet-esque, an island party. people showed up in sandals, hawaiian shirts, tank tops, shorts. suddenly i understood the need to go to the dominican in february for many people who live in cold climates. i've really enjoyed the winter, and haven't even been itching (too badly, at least) for summer. but seeing those people dressed in such minimal clothing made me want to go lie on a beach in a bikini (nevermind my pasty white skin!)...it was almost as if i had forgotton what summer clothing was like, so used to layering up with jackets, scarves, hats...

looking forward to the disappearance of mud season, though. i missed this last year, as i left for south america on march 21st and didn't return until may...by then, the snow was gone and the mud had dried.
