Spring!
After a cold, hard winter that seemed to go on forever, the signs of spring are everywhere. The grass is starting to turn green. California Girl is able to wear some of her new warm weather outfits. And The Girl had an out of town soccer tournament that marks the start of her spring season. It made for a very busy weekend and reduced the time California Girl and I were able to spend “together”. (Not a good thing but fortunately a very infrequent occurrence.) And, even though the N C A A basketball tournament is going on, I didn’t OD on basketball. With so few small schools making the field, March Madness doesn’t seem as interesting.
It supposed to be over 70°F tomorrow! Maybe it’s warm enough for our first outside photo session of the spring. We’ll be losing the sun and it will be starting to cool off by the time that I get home from work; so we won’t have time for anything elaborate; but it would be nice to do something outside after being inside for so long. And, and, and even if it does get too cold, only four more weeks until we open the pool!
Yeah, we had a week of Spring last week in the UK too. Now we’re back to Winter.
*contemplates moving south*
I’m glad spring is there and hope it finds its way here soon!
We had some teases… A few days pushing 50 degrees and we saw a robin yesterday, however, its dropped back down to 20s the last few days.
Yea for Spring. I truly believe that almost everyone I know is getting more “frisky.”

One depressing thing, I can’t believe that it’s going to warmer in Ohio than here below the Mason-Dixon line in Maryland. It fact the warmest it will be this week will be around 60 and the end of the week
I look forward to being outside again, maybe even indulge my fetish of exhibitionism for once…hey I’m always willing to try new things.
As always, you two keep enjoying each other and let us know all about it….yummy!
Now I’m jealous. Yesterday it was spring here – rain, wet, melting snow, etc. This morning it’s about 10F and an inch of snow has fallen. Visibility is about 300 yds with a 30 – 50 mph wind. Spring is lovely.

Snow is up to 8 inches now – predictions of flooding in the next two days in Fargo and Grand Forks as the crest of the Red River is augmented by rain and runoff. In 1997 the Red in southern Manitoba went from a normal of about a hundred yards to 60 miles wide in places.

Alfie: The rains are moving in; but it’s supposed to stay relatively warm this week. Perhaps spring is here to stay.
Viemoira: The weather in Ohio is strange. We need a lot of heat in the winter and a lot of AC in the summer. There are a lot of places where you can get by with one or the other but don’t need both.
It’s been in the 30s at night; but with any luck, we won’t have any more 20-degree days until next winter. I hope that spring comes soon to where you are too.
Dirty Debbie: We’re well above the mason Dixon line’ but the weather in Ohio is fickle. The past few years, it’s snowed after we opened our pool in April. Presumably, your weather isn’t that unpredictable. BTW: You need do to post about your fetish of exhibitionism.
Yondan: 8 inches of snow in late march. Yuck. That must be especially miserable with all that wind. S long as it’s not tornado weather, I’m glad I live in Ohio. And I pray there will no more floods anywhere. Some places are still recovering from the last ones.
Supposed to be 50F here tomorrow. We call that “warm” in these parts.
It’ll get to 70 sometime in May. We got some snow this weekend (woke up from a nap and it was white outside!) and it’s been blazingly sunny but bitter cold (was 12F when I left my house this morning).
I envy you your spring!
When I moved here my department head, a long time resident of the area, told me that he had had a baseball game called on July 17 once because of snow – not that there had been so much of it but that by the time they had argued out whether it was an early snow or a late one it was too dark to play. (Typical academics.)
I do know that my tomatoes were frosted almost to death one year on the twelth of August.
Yikes – yondan
Lauren: Around here warm is in the 70′s. Unlike a lot of places we have large temperature swings with below zero days in the winter and 95°F days in the summer. So our definition of spring is when it’s 35 – 45°F at night and 55 – 65°F during the day. I long for the burning sun of summer.
Yondan: It only snows in July around here if there is a MAJOR volcanic eruption and we haven’t had one of those in almost 200 years. Hopefully, we won’t see frost until anymore until sometime this fall.
