    Default Spring Time! Good god I love it!

    People talk about the beautiful colors of Fall, but for me the Spring colors in Virginia are where it’s at!

    Glorious!

    Spring ain't here yet. I just came in from snow blowing the latest 6 inches off the driveway.

    My daffodil planting mania a few years ago is coming up great. On the edge of the deck I’ve got little daffodils w yellow centers and orange centers.

    I remember spring in Virginia when I was a grad student at W&M and all the years growing up in Maryland. It's the one season up here that just does not measure up to my youth. I remember the cherry blossoms and the flowers.

    However, come July when you have triple-digit temperatures, you are welcome to come up here and enjoy summers that feel like spring.

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!

    Why did I open this thread? This is why I never used to call my mother in NC in March.

    Plenty of snow on the ground and another 12" predicted for next week.
    I'm loving it! I just bought new skis and boots and will hopefully be skiing well into April.
    Spring and summer will come soon enough. I'm in no hurry.

    Our daughter lives in northern Virginia and it is indeed beautiful there now. Come summer and it turns into hell on earth with the heat and humidity.
    I was born on a wooden boat that I built myself.
    Skiing is the next best thing to having wings.

    Virginia is on my list as a possible future snowbird destination…
