Thank heaven for spring, and for us.......thank heaven for rain, which we had a good deal of yesterday. Looking forward to much more over the coming months to replenish our much depleted water supply.

i think that's the most exclamation points i've seen in a post this month that didn't involve cussing out "W". enjoy! we still haven't tilled yet (getting hubby off his fanny is tough this year!)

Who hijacked Norma's blog and wrote about happy stuff? huh? Sunshine? Vermont? Oh. Maybe it's true. I read about it on another Vermonter's blog too. Hmph. Look what Sunshine does to Norma! hehe I should start calling you Norma Sunshine. :)

Ditto to all of the above, only I don't have garlic or a styrofoam head. But you get the idea.

We so deserve this now, don't you think? Great pictorial travelogue of what must have been a perfect day.

Isn't it nice? I'm itching to get outside and do some gardening today, but I'll be up in Cummington at a planning meeting for MAS&W. Enjoy the day!

Yesterday was wonderful here, too and today promises to be the same. Hooray!

Same beautiful weather down in upstate NY - it's gorgeous! Our crocuses are blooming too, the forsythia's getting close, and the snow last week didn't kill the daffodils!

One of the wonderful things about blog buddies around the nation is that I get to prolong my favorite season! The first crocus! WoW!!! Wayyyy cool!! Come on spring!
Posted by: Roxie | Sunday, April 22, 2007 at 11:28 AM
I am happy! Can you believe how nice it is?! Today too!
Posted by: Cheryl | Sunday, April 22, 2007 at 12:43 PM
I've never seen so few words in a post...it seems mother nature and your fine friends have left you speechless!
Posted by: margene | Sunday, April 22, 2007 at 03:28 PM
That's the nicest thing I saw all week! Just think of great that will look by June!:)
Posted by: Carol | Sunday, April 22, 2007 at 06:08 PM

Posted by: maryse | Monday, April 23, 2007 at 06:46 AM
Hmm... it's amazing how crocus like your crocuses are... *laughs* And now I really have no idea what the flowers are in my garden!
Posted by: Sara | Monday, April 23, 2007 at 07:20 AM
Isn't it fantastic? I was SO ready for spring. And now it's spring. Yes yes yes spring. I feel like an overenthusiastic puppy.
(OK, so that's redundant, but you know what I mean.)
(I just hit Post and my verification letters were dswffs. I have no idea what dsw stands for... dratted software? don't spill water? darned sure wacky? Now I'm going to giggle all day.)

It rained here Saturday. *L* I'm so glad it's warming up over there, sweetie.
Btw, I just ate some garlic from the garden. Mine aren't pretty and tall, though. I keep mowing them down. /hides

Ha, ha! Reminded me of an email my MIL sent recently comparing cats and dogs... dogs respond to everything with "XXX - my favorite thing!!"
