I'm going to read this to my students on Monday, a delightful speech given by Mark Twain, identifying 136 weathers in one twenty-four-hour period in spring--a time not to be praised, necessitating New Englanders' killing of poets who do so.
The students are heading off Wednesday to Rome for two weeks on a special trip to see members of the order be consecrated priests and meet the Pope. Yippee! No school for me.
We had just been talking about it. Some boys from Louisiana find the "sumptuous variety" (Twain's words) to be annoying. I like it.

Yes, one of the brightest gems in the New England weather is the dazzling uncertainty of it. There is only one thing certain about it: you are certain there is going to be plenty of it.Friday I hiked Mt. Israel between jobs in a T-shirt! One of my favorite hikes, the summit, by pure happenstance, being named for the original farmer who lived near its base, is the precise elevation of Jerusalem. That's cool
