Spring Time

I love spring time. Its finally starting to warm up and the snow is melting. This is going to sound corny, but when I stepped out of my dorm into the hall today, the smell of spring was in the air.

Yep smells like spring around here too. The cow crap that has been frozen all winter is starting to thaw out.

Seriously though. It has been a weird winter for us. Never had much more than a foot of snow on the ground and most of the winter you could see grass. I just want mother nature to make up her mind on which season she wants to be in.

AHHHHH yes spring time in Phoenix, an everso crisp 50 degres for an overnight low, and a lovely 80 for a high today,
sounds great but it is our sucker weather cause in a couple of months we will need welding gloves to hold our steering wheel.

I'm a big fan of both spring & fall. It's just warm enough in the daytime that I don't roast in full riding leathers; yet warm enough in the morning & late evening that it is easy to throw a fleece on and still be riding comfortably.

Spring is great, but I like all four seasons. We haven't had enough winter here yet, so if any of you can figure out how to send me your excess winter I'll take it!

I moved up to Michigan in June, all I heard was, "Your gonna catch hell this winter." Well I didn't catch hell, it was a little longer than I was used to in Tennessee, but not a lot of snow, and cold. I am glad winter is just about over though. I just want to work at night, and not have to worry about freezing weather. I love night shift in the summer. 70 degrees, riding with the window down, working in shorts.

Didn't smell like spring to me today wish it had. I spent most of the day working in a waste treatment plant.
