    yeppers. It's been a long cold winter and by now we get a bit giddy. "OMG it's 50 degrees out, lets go stand in the mud..."

    You also live in Montana? You are describing exactly what is outside of my window.

    My Beloved Sandra and I just returned from a couple of days on the Maine coast (Wells / Ogunquit, mostly) and yesterday the temps got up close to, or slightly above, 70. We spent a chunka time sittin on the terrace at Lafayette's IN SHIRTSLEEVES, sippin the Grand Marnier!
    Today, being a travel day back to Hinterlandville, prevented me from offering even a crappy T13. Sorry.

      I went shopping yesterday, the stores were colder than the parking lots, and I actually went hatless. Gloveless. and winter coatless.
      When I got home my husband was lounging in the sun on the porch. =)

      Shirtsleeves, yes indeed. I suspect you didn't get totally crazed and try running into the surf, no matter what the air temps were...

      Oh, I agree. Mud is the high point of March, for me. And Jonquils are the culmination of the month. I suspect this year it will be one of those snowy Marches, we're long overdue for a March blizz--oops. I didn't say that. nonono

    You can’t trust Mother Nature. She likes to play with our heads and when all looks good and safe, she drops her little bombs of ice on us.

      For sure. You never turn your back on her, or let the fire go out. Nossir.
