Sounds beautiful, ranger! Yesterday morning, it snowed for a few minutes here in Southern Connecticut. Very weird. We've had almost a week of rain, and then today the sun came out, the temperature got up into the 60's and for the first time I was able to go outside with just a long-sleeved shirt on and enjoy the sunlight. My lawn looks like it has leprosy and a couple of evergreens didn't make it through the winter, but hey! There's something exhilarating, just taking a deep draught of that wonderful fresh early spring air, all flavored with new-sprouting flowers and the smell of damp grass that washes away a winter of frozen roads and spirits.
