oh summer, where art thou?

We've got some serious spring fever going on around the Piller house this week. When it's 35 and above in Northern WI, we call that spring. That's when you can see your driveway again, you can start to take down your Christmas lights, the kids consider playing outside again, and you can stand to be outside long enough to clean out your car from the winter. My husband couldn't care less if winter never showed up, if he could play softball all year round, he'd be a happy guy. So, now that the garage door opens (at negative degrees it tends to refuse) he concocted a makeshift tee to hit softballs off of. He's hitting them against our old mattress but I can still hear it from my cozy warm happy place on the couch. I'm convinced that we was cool with us buying a new mattress so that he'd have the old one for just this purpose! Not only is he doing this but he's got the kids out there doing it too...which, I guess is good. It's always nice when I'm inside alone...oh, I mean, it's nice when the kids get outside and get some fresh air (there, that is more PC right?). Seeing the tempuratures start with a "4" on the evening news is an amazing thing. It puts people in a good mood! Wait until we start seeing 5, 6 or 7's! Bring it on spring...hello pre-summer...can't wait to have you over for a few months! Enjoy the warm weather all, let the sunshine see your face!
