I am ready for spring.
I am ready for the snow to melt away like the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz. It was beautiful at first, a blessing, a forced Sabbatacal from God to stay home and watch him paint the world pure white.
But, like our lives, as soon as it lays still a few days it starts turning brown, becoming the color of whatever falls on it.
But we played in it a few days, making snow angels, leaving tracks, throwing it at one another, sliding down little hills, eating it.
But the roads were soon cleared and we left the crystal city and melted back into our routines.
But now I am ready for green, that fresh, brilliant green against blue skies.
I am ready for spring storms, thunder, wind and flashing lightning.
I am ready to head south and chase a turkey through a valley filled with redbuds blooming and the fragrance of lilac bushes.
I am ready to find mushrooms and think about fishing.
I WANT to mow my lawn now.
I am ready for spring.
Are you?

I too am ready!
The daffodils have started blooming here...the last two days have almost reached 70! I love the south in the springtime!
Living up here I miss those warm days that start showing up at the end of February and beginning of March. Enjoy!
Hey knucklehead, It's a blog rule to post a picture that was taken in the present century!
I want spring too!
Signs of spring abound! I've seen robins, flower buds, and Gene's has taken the boards off the windows downtown!! WOoT!
Hey come on Albone! I wasn't aware of the blog rule but it still qualifies by about a month, guess I will change it in March if I can find another picture as grainy as this one to hide all the gray! Where do I get one of those pics where I am playing a sax?
I hope that picture only exist in your dreams.I see you as more of a blues harp and banjo kinda guy.
