Why is it that I think of GREAT April fool's jokes in December, but can never remember them when it's time to use them?

Happy April Fool's Day!

The tulips are starting to sprout out of the ground in the Public Garden! Cherry trees are blossoming in DC!

I'm ready

I'm ready for spring. Conveniently, according to the calendar, it has arrived! To celebrate the first night of spring we ceremoniously removed the electric blanket from the bed. Yup, a momentous occasion.

I've given up on scarves and gloves completely, but am still wearing a winter hat outside. This morning, I walked by the little fish pond in front of a house in our neighborhood and noticed it had a nice layer of ICE over it, so the temps are still cool.

But, I have hopes that it will actually feel like spring sometime soon because last week it felt like spring in DC. Just last Saturday, I was strolling the monuments in the sun wearing short sleeves. Here in Beantown, I'm looking forward to the tulips in the Public Garden!
