First day of Spring…(better wet than WHITE)


 


Thunder from the clouds,


Rain from the sky,


Thankfully no snow,


Let it stay in Wisconsin and blow…


 


My neighbor does complain,


About all the freakin’ rain,


No solid ground to be here had,


He wanted to also go fishing for shad…


 


Got home from work in time,


To avoid the worst of the onslaught,


Still just now when walking Rufuz,


Both of us in the rain we did get caught…


 


But still we did have fun,


Through the rain we had to run,


To the safety of a pavilions,


Now in the warmth and dryness of our home,


Satisfying our tastes with an Irish whiskey & Killians…

I don't mind the rain or the snow for that matter, though snow here is not the same as in your neighborhood. I am glad that it is officially spring, and our weather is certainly warming up. Andy will just have to take Michelle to the Southwest so they can both enjoy some nice warm weather.
Take care,
Sherry

Well here we have had two of the most perfect days of Spring ever. I got out the other day and planted gladiolas and found that I need more exercise and yes it is better rain than snow. But we had a wet snow that just was beautiful but did not stay long. At least I know my flowers will make.

i know you are sick of the snow...we would love to see some of what you had this winter; it is too mild here for my liking. and soon tornado season will start; then people wonder why i hate spring so much! i have already been in one tornado (last year was my first time), and i don't care to do it again, thankyewverymuch! and no freakin' basements! go figure....not good for my storm phobia!!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in tornado alley, karen lynn in texas. :(

Would love to try some of that whiskey and Killians since I haven't before. Still, I stay pretty well sated down here in the swamps by the potions old Marie Laveau conjures up for me. Enjoyed the poem.
