Spring has Sprung for a Moment, Anyway

The upside to not fly­ing into NYC this week was that I was able to keep a den­tist appoint­ment, an appoint­ment with the accoun­tant to do our taxes and be avail­able for work when most of my col­leagues are out on spring break.

Ok, I’m being sar­cas­tic, but at least I am get­ting a lot done.

Due to a hec­tic sched­ule, I’m going to let you enjoy a cou­ple of pho­tos that proves spring has sprung here because by the time you read this, a cold front will have hit.

The weath­er­man even men­tioned the four-letter “S” word as a pos­si­bil­ity for Sunday.

This is me with my hands over my ears singing, “La, la, la, weath­er­man, I can­not hear you!”

Have you been get­ting a mixed bag of weather where you’re at this week or has it been all win­ter or all spring?

Enjoy your week­end, Living Large readers.

    Nice pics Kerri I wish I had seen some of that. I woke up yes­ter­day to sleet. It had been rain­ing, in Wisconsin you won­der if spring will ever come. I'm glad I sat out­side for an hour that ONE day it was nice out! We have two sea­sons, sum­mer and win­ter! I'm ready for some warm weather too. Molly is an Alabama baby, I think she's ready too!

      We woke up this morn­ing to what the weath­er­man called "thun­der sleet" this morn­ing. The deck was just cov­ered and it pelted us pretty good for awhile. Looked like good old fash­ioned hail to us with a thun­der­storm going on! ;)

  2. Neat pic­tures. I want a wild Service Berry tree for my gar­den. Storms took mine down. Funny post Kerri.Don't work too hard for you will warm your­self up.

  3. Love the spring pho­tos. Makes me think happy, cheer­ful thoughts.

  4. I knew it was too good to be true, and just to make sure we still have at least one hard frost ahead of us, we went ahead and planted our garden.That should jinx our nice weather for sure! Hopefully, my babies won't stick their lit­tle heads above ground until spring is here to stay, but I'm keep­ing some tarps handy just in case! :-)

      Oh, my, Kathy, you did jump the gun a lit­tle! The rule of thumb for plant­ing in your area isn't until May 1. April 15 for us. I would keep those tarps handy, for sure!

      • Well, I know it's early, but raised beds do make it easy to cover every­thing if it looks like frost. We always fol­lowed the "pota­toes in the ground by St. Patrick's Day" rule and it worked out pretty well. However, I do have the tarps on hand if necessary!

        • Kerri says:

          I think you bet­ter have those tarps at the ready this week­end to keep your soil from freez­ing, Kathy. From what I hear, they're call­ing for snow up there this weekend!

    Here's my Mr. Bill Impression, "OOOOOHHHH, NOOOO!"

    Yes, about an inch of that S word has fallen here on Cape Cod. Already in a mind-set for spring, I look out the win­dow and think, NO!
