Spring?

The snow is rapidly turning back to water & buds are appearing on the trees. It's almost enough to fool us into believing that Spring has sprong. Other signs: there are neighborhood kids playing in our cul-de-sac, bicycles are being brought out, tires pumped, and off season vacation plans are being traded like Baseball cards. Utah? Mexico? Cost Rica for some surfing?
Us, we are heading off to a wee Island in the Dutch Antillies called Statia
to climb volcanoes, bask in the sunshine, swim with the young lad and spend some good time with Tom & Erna.
Kathleen is feeling much better, walking around the 'hood, not spending quite so much time in bed. It is good to have her back, it felt like she left for a little while. Hopefully that is the last we'll see of the demon Meningitis for good. We have hired a Ninja Squirrel Soldier to protect her & are confident in his ablity to at least scare off anymore invading viruses....


Here's a Haiku:
Spring has not quite come
Snow competes, and wind banishes
Thoughts of summer
