Robin and Linda Williams are a husband-wife folk singing duo who live outside Staunton, Virginia. Patty and I have seen them in concert six or seven times. (They usually play with two other musicians, a bass player and a mandolin player, who they call their “Fine Band.”)
In one of my favorite Robin and Linda songs, “Together, All Alone,” about a husband and wife who are snowed in and glad of it, they sing,
“I’m not worried about the weather.
The weather’s gonna do just what it wants.”
I repeated that repeatedly during the snowy days (and the days that threatened snow) this past winter, as in: “Oh well. What are you going to do?”
But now that we’ve gotten a taste of SPRING these past couple of days, I’m not as sanguine. I want it to get warm and stay warm!!!!!
It was so cold a week ago. You think the old saying will be true, since March came in like a lion?
