34 days....Spring begins.

[Maggot]

That is all.

poor delusional Maggot. Spring up here means only 3 feet of snow on his garden.

first we have to have mud season.
then black fly season.
then one more monster Nor'Easter.

true the confused flowers are popping up, but that's just to fool us into thinking Spring is coming.

i'd leave that hoe alone for now sweetie Maggoty.

I know, the ground is still frozen, the beachball from last summer is frozen next to the Hosta shoots. My pool still has 6" of frozen water on the top. It still takes me 10 min to warm up my truck before it will go into gear. The stupid cat that will not die still pussyfoots around the door never going out because its still cold. My furnace still clicks on every 45 min. The trees have no buds on them. Sugar season is still 8-10 days away. But.....................


The sun comes up earlier. When I get home its still light sometimes. There are no icicles on the eaves or soffit. More birds are coming to my feeders. The groundhog in my shooting area comes out on sunny days. I hear drips dripping when the sun comes out. The air "smells" earthy. And I have not had to use my snowblower once this year.
The calendar says 34 days and I'm sticking with that. At least till tomorrow.
