On the First Day of Spring

I've just decided that if I'm ever in a band, I'm going to name the band The Shams. So people can say "boy, do those Shams rock?!?" You didn't see that one coming did you?

Happily today was the first day of spring but there is still snow on the ground from last Friday when we got socked with a pretty decent snow storm which ultimately cancled my Saturday class which was fine with me. I had a home full of guests so we got to start our St. Patrick's Day fun a little early. And, Briguy made it home to party with the girls as well.

I was hoping today would be a little warmer than it was but the dog and I went out for a long walk after lunch. The snow was melting so there were lots of puddles and mud. Jasmine tried to walk over a puddle that had a thin layer of ice on the top which she fell through. The sun was warm but the wind was cold. I hate wind, unless it's a breeze off the ocean and it's 80 degrees outside.

Happy Spring!
