"SPRING, I Love You With Caution"

Happy Monday to my friends, followers, visitors and viewers.
You came according to your appointed time.  You brought with it a coldness that didn't make many people happy.  As a matter of fact, most people didn't enjoy your arrival because you always bring so many frustrating things with you.  We thought you would be warm and inviting but as I've already stated...you were moving all over the place and getting colder and colder by the minute.  You caused me to pull out clothing that had been placed in the back of my closet just so I could embrace you on your arrival.
Along with the coldness you also made me stuffy and had me with a sinus headache.  Just because you came the way you came,  I thought I would have to see my primary care physician this morning.  Your gift left me with one major sneezing, coughing, and feeling of light headiness. Because of you, I know it is time for my allergy medication. I'm not a happy camper.  I'm proceeding with caution.  You treat me this way every year.  Later on, I know you will be showering me with your beautiful color of yellow all over the place.  On my grass, my vehicle, my hair and everything that you can cover.    Spring, I love you with caution but hello there to you!

Hello there!  ( I speaking to the fact that Spring is here...did you get it?)

"SPRING... Oh Spring, Where Art Thou?"

Good Thursday to my friends, followers, visitors and viewers.
In my part of the world, we have experienced some beautiful weather for the majority of this week.  We were able to take off the heavy coats and walk around with just a light  jacket.  Some wore sweaters and  some even went bold enough to put on shorts, wear flip flops and sandals.
Was it Spring regardless of the calendar?
Initially, Spring will be officially here on March 20, 2016 but the temperature and the way people were reacting we thought it was Spring.  It looked like it.  It felt like it until this morning...and the weather man reports snowstorm..."what the what"...snow!!!
Yes, it is going to fall tonight into Friday morning.   I love snow, I really do but when you're given a tease or a taste of Spring...I'm ready for the change of weather.
I'm not by myself...take a look:

The "Crazy Bird" and I decided we've had enough.  We see you're on your way.  Come, we're ready for you!  It's time to start digging in the dirt and singing with the birds...not the crazy ones.., the real ones that will soon start building their nest in my rose bushes.
