Spring Never Arrives All at Once
Posted Apr 6, 2025 - 14:44:13

The weather has been on a roller coaster lately, just like it ends up every spring here in Wisconsin. For the last several weeks the temperatures have gotten nice and warm on Friday only to plunge back into the cold on Saturday. This week, with temperatures in the fifties, we're finally having a nice Sunday. Spring never arrives all at once. It turns up for moments and then retreats.

Frankly, I think it's just determined to mess with me.

I had a lovely time yesterday participating in the Critical Thinking Witch Collective's April Brew. I haven't done anything with them since CritWitchCon 2022, and I'm so glad they asked me to join in for this event. They've asked if I wanted to do stuff a few other times, but I can get myself a bit overwhelmed in the fall when CritWitchCon comes around, so this was actually super nice. It helps that the topic was one I felt comfortable dropping in on without feeling like I needed to shore up my sources.

Because I'm neurotic like that and even if I know a topic backwards and forwards I'm not comfortable speaking on most of them in public without preparing five pages of notes. The secret to the podcast is that I can have my sources up on screen just next to my camera, so if I ever have any doubts, I can just see the original data. It's hard to do that in an impromptu panel where the subject can go off in a different direction at any given moment.

Anyways, my particular flavor of crazy aside, it's gorgeous out right now, so Crysta and I are thinking about taking a lovely drive in the country. It should be nice -- the sun is shining, the weather's lovely, and we have a full tank of gas. We used to take drives like this all the time, but have fallen out of the habit.

I think it will be lovely.
