Done with winter

It has been an easy winter with warmer than normal temperatures and lower than normal snowfall. Yet I am ready for spring. Even though I fear climate change, I love being able to walk my small dog every day and I am eager for winter to end. Many mornings the sunrise has turned the sky rosy before another mild day begins. In the evening, the sun sets and the sky deepens to pink before darkness falls.
It's nearing the end of February and the days are getting longer. That's a sure sign that winter is ending and it won't be too soon for me.
Even as I write this I feel a minor guilt. We haven't had a winter storm and the snowfalls have not lasted long, I know other parts of the country, such as Central and Atlantic Canada have had nasty storms with heavy snowfall followed by freezing rain. Through the United States, there have been winter tornadoes, flooding rain and punishing blizzards. Last week Figi was struck by a devastating typhoon and the islands are flooded and without power.
I know this intellectually. I know I should be thankful for the mild temperatures, the lengthening days and that we have escaped extreme weather. I know it but I'm still so done with winter.
