Spring is sprung,
the grass is rizz.
I wonder where the birdies is?
Some say the birdies take to wing,
but that's absurd.
We all know,
it's the wing that takes the bird.

Spring arrived today and with it a winter storm. Before it is all over we are forecast to have eight inches of fat, heavy, water-laden snow flakes. We will be staying inside for a couple of days. This weekend the temperature is supposed to get up into the 40's which should melt the snow and I won't have to shovel it.
With Spring comes the annual spring cleaning. Today we spent the better part of the day cleaning the three rooms upstairs. You know, the usual stuff--dust the walls, clean the bathroom, move the furniture, vacuum the floors, polish the furniture, dust the knick knacks, etc.
We had a good time getting it all done. We were lucky because we did the window back in February when we had some warm, spring-like weather. Now it is time to get caught up with this fun stuff.
I just had a wonderful IM chat with my granddaughter. It was wonderful to have the chat. We live quite a distance apart and I don't get to see her or her family. Perhaps this summer I will get to see her. At least that is part of the plan now.
I am beginning to get the wonderful aroma of the BBQ beef brisket cooking in the crock pot. It is making my mouth water. We worked together this morning to get it ready for the pot. We took a break from cleaning to do it. Maryann prepared and applied the rub and I did the BBQ sauce. It was a recipe from Taste of home. I may just copy it and post it at Recipes. I think I'll stop now and get that done.
Serve well! Live fully! Do good works!

Jack, thanks for the recon to the Quomain zone. The dreaded snow that will be there in a couple of days, is a dream for those of us who did not grow around it. I have yet to see my buddy in LaGrange, OH; who is always telling me how many tons he plows every week, so I hope you make it through the inches.
Jack, are there a lot of liberales out there in the mid zone?.
mr q :-)
There are not many liberales Here in the heartland. We sure love to do our best to bait the neocons.
oh oh I feel terrible. I have never dusted my walls. OH oh. I de-cob-webbed them but have never 'dusted' them. What does this say about me? I remember an old friend of mine ( old as in she is now dead) saying to me in her youth she was sent out to work at 13 years of age. She worked for a doctor's wife and had to dust behind every frame that was on the walls. I thought that was pretty nasty.
You and Maryann are just so organised. Oh dear.
Alison, just because we do it doesn't mean everyone should do so. Maryann comes from a Pennsylvania Dutch lienage. They are famous for being meticulous in their housecleaning. She learned it at her mother's knee. I had to adapt and am glad that I did.
So, get rid of the cobwebs on occasion and be glad you have a home that is inviting for spiders too.
