Nevermind that it’s snowing seventy miles north of here – it’s only crisply cool here, and songbirds are singing up a riot. Yesterday I finished up all the list of yard items on the honey-do list, and threw the ball with my son. Lacrosse and baseball seasons are about to begin. This morning very few browns and greys among the outfits at church, many more spring colors.

Driving over to my father-in-law’s house after lunch, I noticed the first early daffodils and cherry trees in bloom. In his yard a carpet of purple crocus.

This morning I still had a wintry tune playing – Keiko Matsui’s Deep Blue; that had to change. Driving home I switched on Russ Freeman and the Rippingtons’ Sahara. “Native Sons of a Distant Land” caught my suddenly upbeat mood perfectly.

It seems like I’ve been ready for spring since the day after New Year’s, and now it’s here. Yeah, we’ll have a number of cold snaps going forward, but that’s okay, because spring is here!
 
Sounds great Tom. I have been stuck in Phoenix all with week with the NBA and it has been rather cool and raining here. Anxious to get back to TN and will probably recomission my fresh water system in the next week or so.

After our winter, I too am so excited to get into spring.
 
Very nice here on Saturday too. Spent most of the day outside evaluating the lawn I'll be renovating this spring. Did you Nashville guys get any of the storms last Wednesday?

A lot of straight-line wind, and some intense at times rainfall. Many trees down, about 5000 electricity customers without power for a while. Pretty typical storm for the end of winter and start of spring.
