Dear Spring

Dear Spring,

I do enjoy a nice sunny day, just like anyone else. The issue is that you are followed so soon by the one I don't like, the one who keeps me begging for air conditioning, the one who keeps me indoors, you know, Summer. What I would suggest is that you do your sunshine and brining up the flowers thing, but with maybe some longer extension into June. And no one will mind if you deliver one or two more snowstorms. That way you don't have to that big long week of rain you usually spring for (pun intended).

You see, Spring, Bergamascos are cold weather lovers. We can't help it. We enjoy a freezing cold, sunny, dry January day. I really love a frozen, packed bunch of snow to roll on. My sister gets so excited by fresh piles of snow to bury her face in. This year, I even went out cross country skiing with Mom.

I propose a compromise. Show the humans a few crocuses and budding daffodils. Give them some sun. But, how 'bout you keep the temps more in the Berga comfort range? We're totally happy with the 40-50 degree range, and the humans will just chalk it up to doomsday or global warming or whatever. What do you say?

Love,

Orso
