Spring is really trying to get here. We have had some very warm days, then the next day will be freezing cold.

The flowers are arriving fast and the colors are starting to make it really seem like spring. Pansies are probably the best come-out-of-the-winter-blahs flower.

So, this is the scenario: the ground hog is in hiding as he lied and people are after him. Spring has come and gone twice this month and now we are waiting for the blizzard to hit.

Heat off, windows open, out with just a light jacket and a walk on the beach — who could ask for anything better? Of course it is only Tuesday night and there is a nor’easter in the forecast.
