April 14 four years ago.

I don't relax until that date and accordingly, I ignore crocuses, daffodils, and fat red robins.

If it's any consolation to our northern brethren, the birds say they are nice and toasty, and doing just fine!

When you can stay inside eat comfort food and snuggle up to a good book or movie. Watching it from inside! Enjoy your day!

Driest winter I can remember. Usually it’s raining and dark every day. Nice to have the sun but it makes the summer scary.

Here in Washington, when you'd think we would know better, we still say things like: "Man, this rain is really something! Do you believe this?"

None of it is sticking, at least not so far. The local Weather Service office and the local t.v. forecasters seem to think that accumulating snow will be confined to elevations above 500 feet. Fine with me! I uncluttered the area near my fireplace so I could sit near it. The wind has been howling in the chimney. It feels so good to be home, looking out at the stormy skies. Need to kick myself out of here and get grocery shopping done, and buy more cat food, but I just can't seem to budge. Weather Service is forecasting frozen roads and black ice. Guess I have to tip my hat to old Punxsutawney Phil. Stay warm, Aristus.
