I just want everyone to remember that you heard it here first, just a couple of days ago, SPRING is here and no more snow plowing. Will have to push some slush around but the snow season is history. What a beautiful day it is, not a cloud in the sky, sun is shining brightly and it is even warm. The great thing is that it is turning daylight at 5:30 a.m. and ending at 8:30 p.m. - love it! Unlike JD who enjoys laying in the middle of the living room floor and flipping coffee beans in the air and catching them in his mouth, I took my coffee in a liquid form on the deck this morning! The first time that I have been able to enjoy a good cup of coffee while sitting outside without first putting on my "long handles", carharts and parka since this past September. Now if the "little lady" would just shovel out the storage shed door so she could get to the deck chairs, hate sitting on the steps or hot tub cover. Going to miss watching her shovel the decks, it was always so entertaining, but soon it will be time for her to start mowing the lawns. I always enjoy that from under the protection of my favorite shade tree - especially when she runs over one of toys that belong to Dutch, she can develop "potty mouth" when the occasion arises! Prior to the mowing season, hopefully she will find the time to de-decorate the Christmas trees in the yard, coil up a half mile of extension cords, and find our "blow" up Santa who deflated and seems to have disappeared under the snow. As a word of caution to all who plan to visit this "spring", she made a comment that this coming Memorial Day weekend would be a great time to paint the house since all the kids will be here to help. She figured out that if she has to do it herself, it will take a week to ten days to complete the project, if I help her by moving the ladder for her! I did not say anything but I do not see how she can expect me to help paint the house and still have time to go fishing. I have a lot of priorities this spring already without taking on the responsibility of moving a ladder. With guests arriving in the "Hole in the Wall", it is going to take some time to rig all of the little surprises that will await them! Time sure goes by fast when you are blogging, I just noticed that it is almost time for my noon nap and I have not had my snack yet. Got to go!
