Thread: Spring!

  1. #1

    Spring!

    The first of your daffodils are out, so I call spring.
    Hope the snow melts soon for those of you who still have it

    The same 3 feet of snow that's been on the ground for the last 8+ weeks is still here, and it was almost -20 last night.

    I'm not complaining, but spring is still a ways out for us. Wiarton Willy and Punxsutawney Phil couldn't shake hands this year, so it's anyone's guess.
    It is now my duty to completely drain you.

    Not a flake of snow all winter down our way; much to my wife's annoyance.... She desperately wanted to build a snowman with our children.
    Some people have opinions - The rest of us have taste.

    You should pick one of those daffodils and put it in a clear vase or glass with some water and food coloring.

    It does and I've never met a child who didn't get a kick out of it. It teaches them about how flowers drink water too.
