Terry and I took advantage of this beautiful weather to wash all the windows (except for those solid panes (also "pains") way up high, and brush off and install all the screens. Kept the cats busier than ever as they chased us from window to window and room to room! We're now enjoying the late afternoon while the house is airing out.
I certainly hope that this is not an April Fool's joke being played by Mother Nature, the Goddess Gaia, or the Great Spirit. After the winter we had (albeit not a great amount of snow but continuously lousy weather) I'm definitely ready for spring.
More please!

A few of the crocuses I planted on the hillside have popped up in the last few days. That color, small as it is, is a welcome relief from the drabness of the winter woods. Still waiting for the daffodils to make an appearance.

Driving home yesterday from the Bolt Hole, I got a phone call from Terry (just as I hit the one construction zone on the NYS Thruway, natch!). She had a call from the Good Sam people about our planned Alaskan Caraventure. Seems they had not gotten a large enough response to the second planned outing--the one we had signed up for--and they were going to have to cancel that trip. Would we be interested in going with the first group--the one that starts two weeks earlier? You betcha!
Sure, we could probably plot out a course and make the trip on our own, but there's safety in having a group with a guide. I mean, what happens if there's a breakdown or an accident? God to have someone along who's been there and done that before. Plus there are lots of special events planned and booked by the Good Sam Club that we might not A) know about or B) be able to get seats for.
So, we're still going to head to BC, the Yukon and Alaska with GSC, we'll just have to move our departure time from the Aerie up a couple of weeks. Glad I brought the trailer into the shop earlier this week! Now if they can only make the repairs ASAP, I'll be able to sleep better.

I know the real reason for the earlier trip: you just want to be that much closer to the solstice. Not to worry ... there will be plenty of daylight to go around.
