Going, Going, Gone ...

Dear Blog,

I confess.

It's been four weeks since my last post.

Life can be challenging at times! We've been bitten by the gastro bug in this house.

Today, I am saying farewell ...

to the last of the snow.

This is what remains in my front yard. Although it tried to snow last night, the temps for later this week will melt the last white of winter. Thank goodness.

And, I say hello ...

to the spring flowers that are emerging among the fallen leaves from last autumn.









Spring is here. Summer is coming. The beach opens in 31 days. Brrrrr!

On Sunday, I drove around Piseco Lake. Three hearty souls sat on beach chairs on the beach in their summer skimpies. The thermometer on my car registered a whopping 54 degrees. Braver souls than I!

If the weatherman is right for this weekend, I may even pull some shorts out of the storage boxes, and a rake too! It's time to toss the remains of 2008 into the woods and welcome spring-shine with whoops and hollers! Let me know if you hear me!

Yay! If it's spring at your place, we are really out of the woods. (hope you and your family are out of the woods too.) Wishing you all a long visit from the health fairy.
