Spring is here at last!

This weekend could begin what traditionally in the Northwest is, a slow start to spring. The sun is finally shining on our glorious green earth showing it great wonder. Two days this weekend we are having wonderful, sunny weather; making this our official start of spring. My apple tree is in full bloom and is expected to produce another bumper crop of apples this year. The grass is growing so fast I cannot keep up with the mowing. Weeds have taken over my driveway so I was out with my weed picker cleaning things up yesterday in the sunshine. It is so sunny I had to wear a hat to not burn the top of my head. I took the convertible for a long ride to the golf course yesterday and really enjoyed the open air, sunshine and cruise. Spring brings new hope and the promise of a great summer; swimming, fishing, golfing, reading in the yard, tanning, relaxing, camping, and hanging out with the family. It is a great time of the year, a few weeks remain in school and our vacation for summer will begin. Shine on spring, brings us great weather, great memories and the beauty of mother earth in full bloom.
