 Is It Spring Yet?

  

OK . . . so I have finally come out of hibernation and it's still cold out. What's up with that, I thought we were getting global warming but this winter is taking forever to go away.


The drive belt broke on my snowblower a couple of weeks ago with the last snow.



I guess it's as good of a time as any to say to WATCH OUT for motorcycles - second nature in the south where bikes are on the road all year but in the Northern States and Canada, you don't see too many motorcycles in the snow.

  

Be extra careful checking your mirrors and always check your blind spots before changing lanes or making sudden unsignaled turns

Is It Safe Yet?


Well I thought winter was finished but for the last week I've been seeing leaves shriveling up from frost damage.


It is finished . . . isn't it?


It's almost June, surely Summer is coming, right


Then why is it still so cold (around here anyway)


I want to lose the pants and I'm tired of wearing socks with my "Flip Flops" to keep my toes warm.



Someday soon.

I can't wait till my Smoke Tree comes out in bloom and I can take summery pictures for donssite or my photo blog again.

Winter is not over yet but we are getting a few nice days in a row.

ABOVE FREEZING ! ! !



For at least a couple of days I can go outside wearing a sweater instead of a heavy winter coat although there is a lot of rain accompanying the warmer weather.

Finally, I can stop making trails in the yard for my dog,



I can see if there are any cars coming as I back out of my driveway.




For those fortunate enough not to know what a "Windrow" is . . . it's that pile of white s#!% at the end of your driveway that the snow plow guy so meticulously piles up mixed with salt and slush at 2:00 in the morning which turns into a frozen chunk of ICE Four Feet Tall and Six Feet Wide hours later when you have to leave very quickly.



This was the bottom of my driveway two weeks ago!

Sometimes it seems like the snow plow guy is watching and when he sees that you have finished shoveling the driveway and gone back inside, he comes back with another huge pile of snow and slush (I don't even know where he gets it from) and deposits it so once again you can't possibly remove a car from your driveway.

Happy Thaw,
