I have put away all my winter clothes and pulled out my spring stuff. My spring snowsuit, my spring thermal underwear, my spring gloves, my spring lined boots, my spring ski mask and my spring scarves. I’m trying to avoid getting case of spring frostbite.

I’m going spring skiing with Dave tomorrow. He was out yesterday and said the slopes were in the best condition they’ve been all year. Funny, you normally expect to hear someone say that in December or January, not April.

It’s even odder that my first day of league golf is Tuesday. I’ve got to remember to buy colored balls so I can find them in the spring snow. They’re predicting a high of 33 F, sideways rain and a wind of 40 to 45 miles per hour. Here are just a few reasons that make you want to skip work to take a few days off to enjoy Mother Nature after being cramped up all winter.

– I saw my first robin of spring, today, and it brought joy to my heart. Too bad it was dead, frozen solid to a fence post.

– I was excited to watch the boys of summer play baseball the other night, but they had to cancel the game due to snow. I guess they took the rest of the night off and went ice fishing or something.
