Re: Spring is near

Still too cold here. I'm still going strong with my winter hobby of model railroading so I'm not ready to get the boat out yet. I do plan to get an early start on boat this year. Last year I had to do my transom and with a baby in the house I was slow to get started. Didn't hit the water till the middle of June. I'll make up for it this year and hopefully get out in April.

Re: Spring is near

Been raining on and off for weeks for us . . . doesn't feel like spring yet to me at all and we don't really even get cold. I've been wanting to get a pic of the local mountains as we have a ton of snow, but it hasn't cleared long enough. Heck, I had to chain up the truck just last week to take the boys skiing . . .

Still cold here too - we did have some really nice days in the mid 50's a couple of weeks back though.

I know spring is close because:

1. I've been seeing pairs of robins and cardinals flirting in the back yard
2. There are buds on the trees - nothing green yet though
3. The skunks are out

We've been waiting to see the tulips pop out of the ground - that's when it's official for me.

Crazy weather this week. Below freezing at night and nice during the day. My neighbor fired up his motorcycle and took it for a test run. Mine's still sitting in the garage with "WASH ME" written in the dust on my gas tank. Thanks Mrs. i386.:D

Okay I got the first sign of Spring ...... We are getting a storm that is supposed to dump 8" of snow.... oh well........

The true sign was when I checked the mail and got a seed catalog ;)
