Long live this weather!

Well, not good for beachcombers I guess as me thinks people aren't flocking to soak up the cold, but still

Grass is perfect for plugging and after last year where we had a 4 month span with almost no rain I'm enjoying every minute of it! I was even able to get out to "quarterback" school without my newest "buddies" showing up. A few kids saw me MD'ing and followed me around like a puppy dog. Kind of freaked me out as I was worried someone would report me as a perp. Gave them both 50 cents as I was doing good in quarters (including my only silver one found at the school) after they showed up (I can see it now - hey mom some stranger gave me 50 cents). This time though it was quite chilly and they were probably staying toasty inside, thank you very much.

15 more quarters last night. 198 since April of last year. Would have broken 200 if I didn't give them 2 Q's each

Next time for sure

Default Snow

I hear ya, where you at? I was coming home from work at 3:30pm on Monday & it was snowing here in Madison WI. Big huge wet flakes, it melted right away but still for a brief moment it was enough to cover the grass, I had to take a picture of it, as I was like I can't believe it is snowing, it's the end of April for Gods Sake! what the heck is going on, it was just 70 degrees a few days ago! We always say here in WI, don't like the weather just wait 24 hours & it will change, or the other favorite you know you live in WI when you use the AC & Heat in the same day!!!

Default Snow and cold

Sorry to hear your weather pattern has gone South.(?) It's been a slow spring this year. Minnesota is finally warming a little. So if the warmer weather follows that cold front it should only last a day or two and you will have some nice temps in behind it. There really is some nice weather out there some where.
