A brief introduction

Old Man Winter, meet spring.

You two really don't have anything in common. However, since you insist on visiting AGAIN, I figure you should know how it works.

When we "spring ahead" that means it's time for you to leave and spring to visit. I don't mean to be rude, but 6 inches in my yard isn't really leaving. It's more along the lines of nestling in, getting cozy, kicking your feet up and sipping hot cocoa.

You see, I'm ready to get out in the yard (which you just covered completely), do a little gardening and finally be able to see my grass.

I only have room for one of you at a time. I think after leaving about 80 inches during your stay is plenty.

Trot along. Take the fresh stuff with ya. Let the sun come out, the tulips come up and the new season start.

Because getting a certain 2 year old in all her snow gear to go help me shovel is quite time consuming. Then trying to bribe her with cookies to get her to come back in the house without alligator tears. Well, that's near impossible.
