Spring? Hello? Spring?

Well, so far spring hasn't started out the way anyone of us has really enjoyed. We got our first snowfall for the 2010-2011 winter WAY back in October. This has made for a VERY long winter. Even for those cold weather loving folks out there. March is supposed to come in like a lion and go out like a lamb (or so they say). Seems to me it March forgot to transition into a lamb. Then there is the whole "April showers brings May flowers" saying. YES, April has brought is plenty of showers. It also brought us many days below freezing and some snow. Now we are almost a week into may and we are just barely starting to creep up to above freezing temps for a full 24 hours straight. In the past 2 weeks if it hasn't been raining, it has been windy and cool almost every day except, maybe, two.

One of those exceptions was Easter. The three days leading up to Easter were COLD and rainy. Then Easter morning we woke to sun and temps in the 40's. It was so nice in fact, that we decided to drive the Galaxie to Mike's Aunt's for Easter lunch. It was a nice day. We had a good meal, the kids played outside for quite a while and we had a nice car ride.

Yesterday, was nice. We were able to open some windows and get some fresh air in the house. Tomorrow forcast looks pretty good too. Then it seems that we are looking forward to another straight week of rain or showers everyday. On the upside, I wont have to water my new grass seed. Then again, doesn't grass need some sun too. I know we do.
