The days are getting longer and the nights are getting stronger! Before you know it, we’ll be running around in shorts and T-shirts, but for now we have a couple more weeks of chilly nights to deal with.
This winter was a bust for me. If it’s going to be cold, then I want snow, dammit! And I mean real snow, not just a dusting or 2 or 3 measly inches. I want it covering the first step of my front porch, at least 8 inches or more.
And yes, I’m still talking about snow.
Maybe next year we’ll get a decent blizzard or two, but right now it’s time to spring forward. There’s so much going on in the next couple of weeks, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding somebody to spend these longer, warmer days with. And if the luck of the Irish is with you, maybe you’ll find 8 inches or more of your very own to enjoy.
And no, I’m not talking about snow anymore. Tucks, Tassles & Tits Oh my!
