sunshine baby, yeah!
Haha, @jenks your comment inspired this post.
It was really neat- within half an hour of making my prior post, (aksing kindly for the sun to shine) the clouds parted and the sun came out- full on and strong and it stayed!! Its well after 7pm (some 5 hours later) and it is still shining bright.
"Do you live somewhere different than I do?! Grass? Green? Lawnmower? Last time I was outside (granted it was almost 12hr ago) it was cold and grey and rainy. Did it get nice out while I've been working?!"
yes, the grass is green and crazy long. Looking out my window, it appears to be wild field of long blades, as opposed to the usually manicured lawn that it is.
A few miles makes some difference. Some are in a snow band, others in a sunshine band? Youngstown area does have a little bit of different weather at times- not that it makes any sense- and not all of the time.. but its a noteworthy phenomenon. Such as, it can be a blizzard everywhere else, and as soon as you are within feet of the village- sun and greenery. I bitched about it a lot these past couple of years- skiis up against the door waiting for use at one of the local parks. Or when I lived full time in Buffalo- I'd come visit friends/family this way, and I would be in awe of the difference- probably bitching that it was so 'nice' in comparison. Its a quirky little thing. Today, I was glad I had to be in Y-town for company arrival.
i am just so tickled that the sun came out. I sooooo needed that!!! thanks :)
after my company left, i took off for a long walk. perfect!
only armed with my cellphone, I snapped a few pics..
proof of sun!
proof of green grass!
proof of long green grass!
(just being silly)
now lets please crank up the heat factor a little bit :)
ok.. soooooooooooo not a big deal, but I am easily amused.
at the Fort..
various lawn pics. why not?
clumps of cut grass
fresh cut today - mower blades cut too close, IMO
ooh not to mention another great thing about spring time as you all know- but the great sounds of frogs and other little noise making creatures. For the next couple of months, I can hear them through both open and closed windows. No need for my little machine that makes those noises to sleep to!
Spring is great when it is really truly here! so come on sunshine!
