Spring's a comin'

Well, it's almost the end of February, which means spring (and by spring we mean summer here in Texas) is just around the corner. It's that time of year when I can stop putting on a hat and gloves every time I walk the dogs, but I also have to be careful what gets left in the car (i.e. chapstick, iPod, purell and the like). It means it's time to pull the shorts and skirts out of the back of the closet and find my swimsuits and beach towels and put them on a shelf I can actually reach. It apparently also means that the weeds begin to grow uncontrollably in our grass-less back yard. I can already tell the days are starting to get longer, which I absolutely LOVE! But alas, it is still February, which means that even though it's 84 today we probably won't get above the 50s this weekend. So, I can't put away the gloves and hat quite yet.
