Spring Is In The Air... And My Face

The weather people say it is supposed to rain this weekend which means that it won't. But just in case they happen to be right, I went out and did some yard work. Changed the oil in the lawn mower, sharpened the blade, did some edging, mowed the back yard, etc. You know spring has arrived when you do the first mowing, the birds wake you up in the morning, bumblebees are in the fruit trees and, of course, when you are walking with your hands full and you walk right through a spider web in your face. And no amount of sputtering, spitting, blowing or wiping your face on your shoulder will get it off.

But I got all that done and mopped the kitchen floor too. Ashleigh is spending the night at a friends right after school and then I will get her after her game tomorrow morning. Lucie has an AED recertification class tomorrow morning so she will miss the game. Tonight we are meeting some friends and going to a new scrap-booking store at the next town over. Fortunately, there is a pizza place and bowling alley so the men-folk will busy themselves with that while the women spend money.

Keep an eye on the Hale Family Web Site for the status of Ashleigh's lacrosse games. She is 0-4 now. I am beginning to think they are the Anti-Patriots...

You know it's time for Shawn to get a job when... he has time to wax poetic on the arrival of the vernal equinox.

Yea shawn...I think Ash's team is what the Patriots are going to be next year. And lucky you the Yankees are now going to be cursed going into next year...so maybe your Bo Soxs will have a chance to win again.
