march was a fat sack of bullshit. i am so glad it's over.

yeah, i didn't get fired, evicted, divorced or set on fire, but only about three of the 31 were good days.

but guess what? i fucking beat it and it's fucking spring. i went to the university's trial flower garden this weekend and found these guys.





this month is going to be better.

experience was the catalyst for me getting off my almost dead ass and finding a new job ....

So, I guess it was a wash for me.

Happy Spring to us all

Ok, it's hard to hate spring (except for the pollen) but it's quite a short season here if we get any at all. And for me, the summer is the most dreadful time of the year so spring means summer's just down the pike. Call me Debbie Downer. I hibernate in summer!

Happy Spring! Enjoy the flowers and sunshine!

it's been a warm spring already and i'm hoping it doesn't mean we're in for a hot summer, but i'm going to enjoy the weather for now

I will not miss either of them and I'm happy it's finally April. I found another blooming crocus today!

I love pansies but it gets too hot for them here. They are definitely a sign of early spring.

we've already gotten hot this spring (upper 70s) but looks like we have rain and snow coming in. we need the moisture here, that's for sure.

A neighbor called them johnny jump-ups or something like that.
Yes, March sucked. It came in like a lion and left like a lion. No lamb in this past March. It was cold, snowy, and had a lot of disruptions. I'm hoping for a better April

always look at things like this: it could be worse. You have the right attitude about what is in store for April and the rest of spring.

They have waited most of the Winter to stumble down the ramp to the musty ground where they seek the comfort of empty bug carcases on their now tender bare feet.
