Well, its 52 degrees and sunny out there today.

Tomorrow 62.

And, I'm stuck inside at work.

Woe is me! Woe is me!



All I have to say, this better not be one of those years when its beautiful during the week and pours down rain all day Saturday and Sunday.

I have lived through those years too. This afternoon here in W PA, it was pleasant and the sun was shining----and I was stuck in my work dungeon too. No windows, can't see outside....luckily for me, I smoke and go outside occasionally. Tomorrow, I am ready to play hookie, there are so many spring things I want to do!

It was nice to do something, anything, in the garden. I filled 3 cans with debris that I should have removed last fall, but didn't get done -- dead stalks from annuals and perennials, some old corn stalks that I had cut and threw in a pile, some morning glory vines I had to pull out of a small apple tree.

We are looking at close to 60 too. I have a mess out there too, but every time I go out, I just find myself enjoying the crocuses and checking on the daffodil progress. That work can wait.
