I'M RUSTING!!!!!

I feel like the Tin Man. Will we never see spring? I can't say it's as bad as poor Bound Brook and Manville who are under water for the zillionth time. I'm craving sun and flowers. The daffodils are soggy and bent over and the tulips are on strike. I had made a pact with myself that I would start walking again in the morning before work, on April 1st.( I had been walking up until the beginning of Dec but I don't walk in the cold) So far there have only been three decent days. Maybe May 1st. We did go to Longwood Gardens over the weekend for a sniff of spring. Even their outdoor flowers are holding out. The inside displays were beautiful though. Lots of hydraengas in every hue imaginable. Darlene and Grace and Mark were with us and the kids had a booklet that had a plant to find in each area. Once they solved the clue and found the flower/plant they were ready for the next room. Needless to say, we scooted thru much of the conservatory (inside) in record time. All in all though, a shot of spring. We leave in 2 1/2 weeks for a cruise to Bermuda with 50 of our neighbors. I think there are flowers blooming there.

Finally, I have been on strike! You have no idea how badly I want spring to come. I am going mad.

There is light at the end of the tunnel. This weekend (Fri-Sun) is suppose to be nice!

Hopefully the playgrounds are dry enough so Cole can run around like crazy.

Just remember 1 inch of rain equals 10 inches of snow, without the drifts.

It is now Thursday evening, and there is a bright light in the sky. I have no idea what it is. Did anyone else see it?

I'll take the cold, snow and rain over the hot, bright sun any day. Maybe we should live in Seattle. The sun gives me a headache.

What the hell was that sound? I'm trying to duplicate it outloud. As a matter of fact, I am perfectly content with the weather today. 78 and sunny!
