    Welcome Spring!!!

    It's officially here and I couldn't be much happier, after the long miserable winter that we just had!

    It's been in the low 70's for the past few days, and that's almost 20 degrees above normal for this time of year, but I'm not complaining.

    The grass is turning green, the bulb plants are popping their little heads out of the ground, the trees are budding, the motorcycles are back on the road, I'm wearing sandals, the heavy down jackets are put away. Yup - all is well!!

    Well almost. My eyes are watering, I'm having sneezing fits, coughing from the post nasal drip, and soon my red car will have that nasty coating of yellow pollen all over it!

    Oh - and then the yard cleanup of tons of broken branches, big and small, from all the wind and heavy snow these past few months.

    Ah yes - welcome Spring!!!

    Consider yourself lucky. It was -7 at 6:30 this morning and it's only 1 degree so far. We had huge snowflakes lying around this morning but the sun melted them. We're supposed to be getting low temperatures like this for the next week. Nothing is green here, still a few snow patches in the shade.

    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!
