Archive for April, 2008

I am tentatively going to offer up that spring *might* be arriving. It’s still in the low 50’s, but the sun is shining. It actually looks so warm outside that we’ve all been fooled into believing that it is warmer than it is! Monday, a friend of mine and I decided to meet up... »

Is it really April 26th? Yesterday, we were under a winter storm advisory that started at 1pm. By 6:30, all we had gotten was some rain and we breathed a sigh of relief. Phew…it missed us. Thomas and I went out with a couple that we have been friends with since moving here and had a... »
