Where is Spring?

We're trying to find it - but the northeast portion of this country is still in the grips of old man winter....5 degrees this morning and snow still blankets the ground! There are some encouraging signs for the weekend and next week, so let's keep our fingers crossed.

Kelli started softball tryouts last night - after two months of conditioning. Every night this week and Saturday, she'll be showing what she can do with her glove and her bat - at least as much as she can show in a batting cage and on a gym floor. (That ball can take some funny spins on a gym floor - compared to grass and dirt). Next week, actual practices start.

Katie and her team leave on Friday via a chartered bus to head to Pensacola for ten days of softball. Kind of wish I was going again - but last year we flew and they were playing 20 miles from my family. This year - traveling on a bus with 15 teenage girls.....no thanks.

This weekend, daylight savings time kicks in and we'll be seeing the sun until 8:00 at night. Really seems weird to see that much daylight in March - but I don't mind one bit. As soon as it warms up in the least, I'll look forward to some evening walks around the neighborhood with my lazy cocker spaniel.

I can't wait to see some crocus and some tulips!!!!!!!
