---Spring, baby! It got up

---Spring, baby!
It got up to sixty-five frigging degrees here today. Yes, I know you
people down south are laughing. Whatever. I live in the northernmost
state in the contiguous 48. We're so north we're practically Canada.
Except for the socialized medicine and all. The husband and I walked
around today in jeans and t-shirts. There were people in shorts roaming
around. Judging strictly by the number of people out and about,
everyone seemed to have realized today was the time to come out of
hibernation. Quite lovely. The husband also got to smoke a cigar
today---he's way happy. The window are still open in the Cake Eater
Apartment. It's nice. My tulips have the right idea, don't you think?
I'll
be honest: I can barely remember what bulbs I still have. The dreaded
squirrels have really done a number on me. I planted thirty+ daffodil
bulbs a few years ago---I think I have three or four left. Those fat
little rodents like eating bulbs. So, it's a pleasure to be reminded of
what they haven't gnawed on when spring comes around. I didn't look to
see what was popping in The Gardener's yard, but---providing its not
snowing---I'll give it a looksee tomorrow. Ahhh---they do so look lame,
don't they?

But they make me happy. And that's all that really matters, isn't it?
