    We went from very cold to almost HOT within a couple days here. And now it seems like it's going to cool off again. If it could just stay like it is now I'd be so happy. It's been in the mid to upper 70's this past week. Today is overcast though. Bring back the sun!!!!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Okay my Canadian friends - it's payback time. You're getting snow now because you sent all of what you should have gotten over the winter, to us down here!!

    We've had snow in April in the past, but not too often. We put the snow shovels away last week - I hope we didn't jinx ourselves. And unfortunately our 70+ temps are only good for one more day, then it's back to more normal temps in the 50's and maybe 60's if we're lucky.

    The poor farmers around here are praying for NO RAIN!!! With all the snow, and then the monsoon rains, the fields are so soggy, that they can't even get in to plant anything.

    Pua woke at 11:30 today so got a lovely walk int he woods. It's been spring for some time around here. Lots of flowers. But we didn't even get any snow this winter. Could turn out to be a hot summer this year.

    We had 70 degrees today, but it is a one-day thing. We have often had snow in March and April, and even sometimes in May, so calendar notwithstanding, I don't count on the weather being this nice for long! Sure enjoyed it for the day, though, just too well experienced to think it is indicative of anything on a larger scale!

    I think Pomtzu is right, we had an almost snowless winter and mild temperatures that broke all records. No snow, no rain, hay will be pretty expensive this year, wouldn't be surprised to see it sell for $6.00 a bale and we'll probably run short and have to order from farther south.
    I can't wait for the first flower to pop out. Then it might look like Spring is here.

    We had snow in JUNE last year. And I recall one year when we had snow 11 months of the year. I'm ready for spring. Need to go get a pair of spring shoes and a jacket - he has my stuff in that locker!!

    Here in Northeastern Ohio I expect one more big storm. I say that because my son's birthday is the 26th of March and I remember many a year when the snow was high, the temp was love and the mood was sour for those that do not like the snow. I on the other hand see it as an oppertunity to hit my son with one more snow ball if he happens to be in Ohio.
