Embrace the First Day of Spring

No matter what the weather is it is SPRING!

In some areas it is too hot or too cold or it's snowing or raining or just not quite to your liking. In Erie, PA the sun has been shining brightly with a slight breeze. Yes, the temperature could be a bit warmer, but I am happy with sun for the first day of spring.

A long time ago I figured out that no matter what my opinion of the weather was it didn't make any difference. The 'weatherman' and 'Mother Nature' had their own agenda so I decided to just 'Embrace' and 'Enjoy' well, maybe enjoy can be a stretch some days.

There's nothing quite like those first blossoms that emerge each spring, or the vivid color of lawns in March.

Good Wednesday morning Mary Yonkers -

With our extremely mild winter it has been feeling like spring since January. The spring winds kicked in yesterday proof spring has sprung in the high desert area of Albuquerque.
