--And what is you might ask? Why spring is coming of course.
--Yeah I know were in the middle of winter, and I’m talking about spring. But hey it sure beats complaining about just how cold it is. Or it’s going to get. And when and if the next blast of freezing arctic wind is going to come and freeze the other side of my face.
--I can't help but smile at the delight on my daughter’s face every spring when that first flower fight’s it’s way up threw the snow encrusted lawn. Or how we both sit there and giggle in February when the goofy lilac tree’s in the front yard start to bloom .
