Spring has spring
The grass has riz.
I wonder where
the birdies is?

Hooray! Today is the first day of Spring! Winter is officially over! Can you believe it? At long last, it's now okay to shed those wollen undergarments and enjoy the warmth of the season!
Here's how we "chose" to celebrate the first day of Spring here in Sioux City...

Yep - old man winter is having quite the laugh at our expense. Still, it's pretty to look at, isn't it?
It's a regular winter wonderland, albeit about 3 months too late to bring any Christmas joy. (And no, I'm not going to ask the guy across the street to put back up his plastic Santa Claus in celebration of the snow. They'd never come down at this point.)

I'm just so ready for some nice weather. And overall, winter wasn't as mean to us as it could've been. But getting up at 6:00 AM to shovel four inches of this heavy, wet gunk isn't the best way to spend your Monday. I'd rather be admiring the flowers popping out of the ground or the new leaves on the trees, not salting my driveway so I can get my poor deprived convertible out of the garage.

Ah, but Spring is indeed here - and this stuff can't last forever. Can it? Right?

Forget it. I'm going back to bed. Wake me at the end of May, will ya?
