Ah...Spring. A time of renewal, a time of growth, and a time of epic yard work. If you're like me and were anywhere not in the Southern Hemisphere than chances are you've had a pretty brutal winter. Mother Nature hasn't been very nice to mankind this past season and there have been more freezes here in FLORIDA then I can ever recall in my lifetime. Even Miami wasn't untouched this year as the temps dropped to below 32 (0) down there. It actually "snowed," in some parts of the state and if that isn't the definition of a harsh winter then I don't know what is. (I'm supposed to be in shorts in January, not 15 layers of clothing, the heater turned up to 180, and the inability to even think of going outside).
Now after months of brutal weather, we've leapt into Spring. As the first day of Spring is upon us, it's now raining and rather warm, and things are starting to bounce back. This is a good thing! None-the-less, most of my neighbors and myself will probably end up spending the next two to three months cleaning up and replanting.
As horrifying as that sounds to most of hipsterdom, I rather enjoy being out there amongst the pollen, wood chips, plants, and mulch. I suppose I'm old, but it's much more gratifying to see something you own look amazing after your hard work then to spend a night face down in vomit. Call it a personal choice but I'll take plants over puke any day.
Anyway, this week's Ten Tracks You Need has been my soundtrack to the start of that recovery and even today's rainy day. As per usual it's all over the place but that's the general idea.
Enjoy.
