Spring has sprung

A couple of weeks ago, Al and I had to go to our local shopping stores for bum wipe, or something of the nature. I got really excited when I saw they were putting up there green houses. I am not sure why, but Al was not sharing in my excitement. He made some comment and shook his head.

Yesterday, Al was in need of a new beard trimmer, so he asked me to go get him one. I was not real pleased, but I knew it would be best if I picked it out. I also had some time to kill. Besides, I needed to get my high quality H2O, because I have not had any applicants yet. (Shakes fist in the air.) On my way to the store, I noticed something very exciting. I started bouncing in my seat, pointing and saying "Oooo! Oooo! Oooo!" The green houses now had flowers, trees, bushes, etc. Fortunately, I was by myself, so I saved Al the agony of "just looking." He will have many, many more chances to do that! Unfortunately, I think all of the passing motorists thought there was a nut bag behind the wheel. (Keep your thoughts to yourself.)

Despite the allergies, I absolutely love this time of year. Yesterday when I woke up, I let the dogs out. When I opened the door, I could smell the grass. I love that smell. Call me crazy, but it means spring is here. I also love the smell of fresh cut grass. I cannot wait for all of the wonderful smelling flowers, fires in my burner, grilling and eating outside, smores, relaxing to the sound of the water fall on my pond, etc. The list could go on forever. I didn't get to enjoy it much last year, because I was a big fat pregnant woman, who couldn't see her feet, let alone touch them. I had actually tried to do some weeding and yard work, but it was way to uncomfortable, not to mention, HOT! The one thing I could do, was EAT outside. And I was VERY good at it.

I am so looking forward to enjoying it as much as possible this year. Here's to spring and all the cheer it brings. Happy spring Ya'll!
