Spring Come Early? Was The Groundhog Right?



            It’s a beautiful 48 degrees out which is something that on a Friday in February, is probably the last thing I’d expect. I woke up this morning expecting to put on my coat and speed walk to my classes, hoping that I wouldn’t freeze in the process. But to my surprise when I left my dorm this morning I quickly realized that, with the sun shining down on me, I didn’t even need my winter jacket today. Walking around campus the smell of melting snow and warm grass hit me like a long waited for sign of spring. Although I realize that spring is still over a month away, and in 5 days I’ll be speed walking to class again, it was a nice present from Mother Nature for at least a day.

  1. There is a bit of TELLing here. Aim to SHOW further -- the way you do when you address the smell of the melting snow and the warming grass. Try not to write as a series of DOings; write a series of BEings.
