My truck was warm inside when I went to get lunch today. I actually had to turn on the vents and get some cool air blowing while I was driving. The sun is out, birds are chirping and there is no snow or ice on the ground. I think I might possibly, maybe, by some slim chance see spring peeking around that bare tree up the road. Any other hopeful people out there?

    It is spring here, thank goodness, and I spent 4 hours this afternoon nude in the backyard, and in shorts and no shirt in the front cleaning out flower beds, pruning bushes and toting away the leaves and debris to my burn pile.  Ah, 4 hours of fulfillment!

    It will be in the low 60's this weekend, I can tolerate those temps nude if it is sunny and calm. I am ready for sun on my buns.

    It was mid-50s in the Midlands of SC today.  I am also looking forward to 60s over the weekend esp. since Travelites Cajun & Chinese NY celebration will be on Saturday in Greenville, SC.

    It was sunny and 68 here today, just wish I had been able to be outside, spent day preparing for fundraiser dance.  It was worth it because we raised a lot of money for cancer research.  It should be the same tomorrow, so hope to at least get a nude hike in.

    Thomas, I enjoyed a partly cloudy but beautiful day with my sweet wife and friends a few miles from you at Lone Star Resort.  I think the highest temp we noticed was 66, we managed to get some sun.   We're headed to the hot tub, and hope to see some sun today before it starts raining.
    Wishing all of you springtime!

    Oh...lucky you, Phil! We've got about another month before that happens.  More snow on the way.  Daffodils are my favorite spring flower. They're so happy and sunshiny...little trumpets heralding in the arrival of Spring.  Post pics on gardening club when they bloom...please!

    [quote]harbinger - one that presages or foreshadows what is to come. (M-W) Gotta keep the readers on their toes.:-)[/quote]     I know what it means.  Just a personal word association for me...I've always used harbinger as the foreshadowing of a negative and heralding as an announcement of a positive, i.e. Frost is the harbinger of winter, Daffodils are the heralds of spring.Jen

    [quote] Daffodils are my favorite spring flower.

The reason daffodils are special to me in the spring is relevant to when I was courting my wife 36 years ago.  There were daffodils where my wife lived back then.  It was April when we became engaged.  Unfortunately my wife today is in a nursing home.  I miss living with her.

Jen[/quote]   No bluebonnets until Mid-March, most likely, but from where we camp to past Thomas' home, they are a phenomonal sight...fields and pastures just completely covered with blue.  The ladies of our resort of have a tradition of meeting early one morning during the season and having their pictures taken in the bluebonnets, nude but you can't see anything, and wearing cowboy hats.  You can see one of the photos on the Lone Star Resort website. There were many buds just about to pop out on all the trees.  Two weeks from now when I go back, it'll be mostly green!
