Spring Fling


I've decided I won't post snow photos for a bit. We need a good dose of colour. I think we are programmed to want colour at this time of year. It just comes a little late in Atlantic Canada. I hear the snow is almost gone in Ontario. They got the last storm we had in the form of rain. That makes a big difference. We need warmth and are supposed to get it tomorrow - eight degrees is the forecast. Yeah!!!!!!!

Kenz just left in a huff. She wanted up on the keyboard. I wanted her on the floor. The floor worked if I remembered to use her shoelace to occupy her but I kept forgetting to move it at regular enough intervals so she has unhappily left. She wanted more attention than I was providing.

I had weekly Friday afternoon Happy Hours for a few years. I feel like having one tonight. I didn't arrange it because I did not feel this urge yesterday. Even with all the snow on the ground, I think spring is in the air. The urge to sit on the deck, end the week with a few laughs, and have a few drinks with friends. Nothing wrong with that.

Bob Dylan always has the perfect song for every occasion. All I Really Want to Do is a good title for today. Since it comes from an old vinyl here's a tribute to vinyl -Viva La Vinyl from Twilight Hotel. Listen to that one to feel the Friday Happy Hour feel. It makes me want to dance and sway.

We're tired of looking at the snow in the yard and ice in the driveway, also. I know spring is in the air because I'm wanting to put up these dark winter clothes and wear clothes with some color - and getting the urge to clean! I told my family in Tennessee after we moved to Maine that the Mainers appreciate spring and summer more than they do down South, because the winters are so long and harsh. Thanks for the cute picture!

How true it is about appreciating it more. I heard once that that Eastern Canadians and New Englanders were a tough lot as the winters were so tough that only the hardy stock survived. - Your smile for the day.

Cuidado,
Oh my! Look at all that green grass and those colorful flowers. I needed those reminders that spring will come soon. My dafs have visible buds and my crocus are up and flowered. Yipee!

Really, Kat, My daffs are two inches out of the ground. We are expecting 10 cm. of snow/freezing rain today.

Cuidado,
I knew this was a wistful picture from a past spring. We are both too close to the ocean for an early one.

We had the snow last week; it was just rain for us for the last 2 days. My sister in Colorado got almost two feet of snow two days ago.

Oh, Kat, I am like your sister and got another storm yesterday after one last week. It's terrible. Yes, the photo is from another year. I need colour.
