Remarkable Spring So Far














Buds and blossoms, grass growing and getting mowed, a harvest of kindling for the firepit and the promise of many a peaceful evening overlooking the road while a fire burns and crackles and provides the atmosphere for many a nice and relaxing Spring evening.

Unbelieveable warm weather has been the order of the day for the past two weeks. Temperatures have soared into the 70s and 80s and 8 out of the last 9 days have seen record setting high temperatures here in East Central Indiana.

I've been able to get a vast amount of outside work done in preparation of the upcoming "outdoor" season. Good thing, too, as the weatherman is telling us rain is moving in for the next 24-48 hours and the possibility of up to two inches of rain, which will only promote even more Springtime growth. Temperatures should drop into the 60s and 70s for the next week or so, which is still 10 to 20 degrees above normal.

I guess a couple of days of rain won't be a bad thing since I need to be getting tax items ready to go to the accountant in another week or so. It will be a nice thing to be able to get that work done, but I have to admit, I'm looking forward to more days outside and more work getting done in the fantastic weather we are having.
