I would not have left the house without a coat and boots. There is still gas in the snowblower.

But I have mowed the lawn twice. I am trying to get the rest of the yard cleaned from the tree that fell last year. And I think, finally, we can say goodbye to winter. The garden is in, the flowers are in, the rosebushes that were killed by the extreme cold have been replaced, and I’m as ready as I’m going to get for summer.
