Well, while there isn't exactly dancing in the streets (Toronto has a strong British heritage and still knows all about what is proper and what isn't), there has been a great lightening of mood sweeping the city with the warmer temperatures and the increase in light.People actually seem lighter, and in one sense we actually are: We've shed our winter coats, our tangled scarfs, and our cloddish snow boots. Even this small wardrobe change has lifted people's spirits.
Did change like this happen when spring arrived in California? If so I can't remember it. In Toronto however, spring is a rebirth and a real awakening.

Spring here has meant kayaking in the harbor in shorts and 70 degree temps under bright blue skies & 2 days later wearing boots, jeans, scarves and jackets to the flea under gray gray skies...(we felt lighter, now heavier, maybe tomorrow lighter, etc. etc. (we're not as solid as folks on the east coast, you see...)
