Why this Season is Called Spring

Hanh mitakuyapi. It's the Season of Showers that Make Flowers, and the temperatures up here in Dakota Territory are up n down n up n down. I figure the reason this season is called "Spring" in the majority culture is because the temperatures 'spring' up n down.
Of course that means that the number of layers of clothes we wear spring up n down, too. A couple of days ago, we had an afternoon temperature of 60F - above zero, not below - and most of us were running around in t-shirts and shorts. (The white legs on you non-ITI were almost blinding! Eeyew!)
Nights still get chilly, though, so we keep jackets handy.. Although you can track most of your Caucasian sorts in the dark if you're wearing shorts.. heh, heh..
Yesterday we had wind - about 30 mph - today we have light / 'female' rain - and no wind, with temperature of +37F. Nearly everyone is back in long pants and coats (this Indn is in 3 shirts & a sweater), although there are always a few hard-heads who insist that since it's Spring, they don't need their coats. Hah!
Tomorrow, the forecast is for warm again, and sunny.
When it was warm a couple of days ago, we who are building or rebuilding were out taking measurements and making notes in case we want to change anything before we get a contractor or go to the local building supply for materials. Me - I build. There isn't much a damaged leg keeps me from, other than roofing.
I'm no flexible enough to roof any more.. If the wind grabs me, I can't boogie up there.. I'll likely fall off and I no longer drop n roll.. More like, I'd drop n stick and become a flower pot holder! Think I'll pass..
See? Spring! Enjoy yours!
