All of this babble about grilling now that spring is near! We grill year round here. Never let a few feet of snow slow us down.... We'll probably get snow into the middle of May, maybe the end. March and April are Colorado's snowiest months!

It is nice to see our local reservoir filling up again too. Not full yet, probably will be 15 to 20 feet below full when they open the gates up and let all OUR water flow east. Stupid senior water rights........... All you westerners will understand this.....

Now, that is what I am talking about. Yessir, it is either back to central Idaho or Montana, or the mountians of Colorado for me. The southwest is a part of america, but that is it for me!

The trees are starting to bud. In the 50s here. Fired up the grill tonight for steak and potatoes.

Week ago buried up bunch of snow. Interstates closed, now outside in t-shirts enjoying life. I love spring.

This may throw a few of you off but there are lawns turning green on my block right now.

About 18" in from the sidewalk on Eastern to Southern exposure lawns.

I still have a foot of snow on mine.

Nigh on to 80 down here today. Dusted off the old scooter and cleaned it up all pertty. Putted around town a bit with a trip to Wally World and dang near got clobbered coming back. Thank God for a center turning lane escape route. Seems every time I take the bike out, I need to call in a near miss, but it's still worth it. See what happens tomorrow when I take it out! Should really clean the truck too...

I'm looking forward to spring so that I can get my classic Ford pickups back out on the road. It was about 50 degrees here today so I pulled my 92 flareside out and washed it.

One of the few good things about working in downtown Boston - the first warm spring days brings all the college cuties out of the dorms. As sexy as they look in those Ugg boots, they look soooo much better in t-shirts and shorts.

Come on 60!

Well, all the women are putting thier clothes back on.

St. Patrick's day storm. 1-2 feet of snow, winds 25-35 mph, and temps in the upper 20's.

At least we saw 60 degrees this week?

Welcome winter

Spring, what's that? It's SNOWING here RIGHT NOW!! Calling for 6 inches of the white stuff with freezing rain on top of that. Yesterday was sunny and 70. Gotta love that mixed up March weather.

Oh great, SPRING. Which means allergies, yardwork, and my all time favorite, the outside honey-do list . How the heck am I supposed to get any NASCAR TV time when I'm busy doing something constuctive?
