LOL Spring

The peepers were out last Friday when it was 77 here. Bet they're hating life now. Or, you know, just dead.

Robins have been back here for about a month. They're hating life, too, looking at each other like, Who was the motherfucker who said it was fine to fly north in February?

 

The cherry blossoms must be all confused. Last year they bloomed almost two weeks early because it was 65 or higher every day in March, this year they'll probably be late.

Hmmm. Maybe my kids won't be so quick to swim in Lake Superior during our annual U.P. Fourth of July trip. I suspect the lake will be a tad more chilly than last year, even in the bays.

 

Went to the parade last year and missed the color.

 

I still love to tell people the story of having a snowball fight on the 4th of July when I lived in Marquette. We found snow on a shady-side hill in the woods near the lake. I think that "summer" my co-workers got their picture in the paper when they were spotted hauling ice chunks out of the lake because it was in the 60s and the lake temp was still in the high 30s/low 40s.
