Spring Fever

I can hardly wait for winter to leave and for Spring to finally get here. Being in the Southwest part of the United States most people think it's always warm or hot here. Let me say this...it is not!!! We get winter like everyone else does and this winter has been a cold one. We haven't had the usual snow and moisture but we've had days where it was freezing. It has also been a weird winter, like it couldn't make up it's mind to be freezing one day and nice the next. Makes me wonder if this whole global warming thing is really real?

Today we got a taste of one of those Spring like days after just having snow a few days ago...it was a gorgeous sunny day, and though the temperature said 65 it felt like mid 70's...mmm....very nice in deed. I had the door open and the cool breeze had a wonderful Springy feel to it. You know the feeling where you can actually feel, taste and smell the ambiance (and no, I am not on any meds right now.)

I even saw the biggest fly this side of the Rio Grande today. This bugger was HUGE and I mean like the size of a large raisin with wings. No, Mike did not throw a raisin at me...it was the biggest fly I have ever seen and it wasn't a horse fly either this was your ordinary run of the mill fly (still not on meds I tell ya) it whizzed by me with such speed I felt the hair on my face move. No, I do not have a beard, you are confusing me with Mike. You know the kind of facial hair, the soft downy stuff. It moved I tell you...whizzzzzzzzzzzzz

Anywho... I can hardly wait till Spring finally arrives and though I have a feeling the flies are going to be as big as tomatoes this year, that might take getting used to...of course I fear all the other creepy, crawly creatures that didn't die over winter have probably morphed into something just as gigantic (ugh!)

Oh well, I can still hardly wait for Spring though...it's my favorite season with Fall being close second. Of course someone please remind me how excited I was about the change of season when I start complaining about how hot it is....whizzzzzzzzzzzzz oh no there it goes again!
