Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong...

...WINTER!
 
It's what everyone is talking about. It's wearing on us all. It doesn't help that last year we were spoiled - very little precipitation, mild days, 80 degree weather in March. I would give last year back to have a normal spring. Any spring really.

Last year on April 11th, Easter Sunday, we were hunting for eggs at the ranch. Note the green grass and the leaves and buds on the trees.

 
April 11th, 2013. Arrgg. Look at the grass and the trees. Boo, hiss. We got so disgusted with all the white stuff that we decided not to say the "ess" word until next winter. We renamed it "turkey dinner".  Needless to say, we are bummed to still be talking about turkey dinner. We got slushy turkey dinner this morning. Last week we had to dig out the turkey dinner pants and boots. We had two late starts last week because of turkey dinner. Please God, bring sunshine and warm weather. We don't want any more turkey dinner. At least not until Thanksgiving.
