This time of year in New England is very difficult in many ways.

For starters, the weather is so unbelievably unpredictable.  It can go from 45 to 75 back down to 50 or 60 within a week span.  For example… Saturday was a beautiful sunny day, it hit 79 degrees.  Sunday was about 50 and cold, damp and dark.  Monday was a sunny day, yet cool, maybe 60?  And today it’s just a bit over 50, yet sunny and beautiful.

This makes it terribly hard to breath.  Anyone with any allergies or sinus issues?  You know what I’m talking about. 

Another problem I’m currently having with “the change” is clothing.  It’s the in-between time where we need sweaters, pants, T shirts and shorts all at the same time.  I’ve pulled the “summer clothes” out of storage, yet I can’t pack the winter stuff away yet.  So, we will have about two weeks where our house looks like we are moving out, because there are stacks of clothes on TOP of the dressers, waiting to be transitioned in.  But unfortunately, the kids are growing out of the “winter clothes”, so if it’s 35 tomorrow, the sweaters are too tight, and fleece pants too short. 

All in all, I find April to be a most disruptive month.
