Come On Springtime!!!

Yesterday I was sitting watching the weather while I drank a nice cup of coffee.
The forecast was for rain last night and rain for today.
I looked out on the drive and saw all the ice that was still buggering things up. Since our driveway is 500 feet and points down to our house, I knew I had my work cut out for me.
I got Greta and Fritzi and their toy balls, and I got out my scraping shovel, and out we went.
I did the upper part of the drive first, scraping the ice completely off to the sides. I worked all the way down to the larger turn around area near the house, then took a break to have lunch and catch my breath. Once I’d done that, it was back out with the doggies and their toys to finish the job.
I worked for a total of about 2 hours and got the entire drive cleared, which is a very good thing. The rain started last night after dinner, and it has just poured and poured ever since. What a mess it would have been with all that ice. Sort of like what the Titanic saw before it sank with all those icebergs!
Many of you may be lamenting the fact that we are having rain instead of snow. Not me. Even though you all know I am an avid snow skier, my heart just isn’t in it now. I would be very happy with an early spring.
I guess that I just miss Hubby when I ski and if I can’t share it with him, well I’d rather be smelling the spring flowers. So let’s all get together and plead my case to Mother Nature!
My desire for an early spring could also be because I am now stuck shoveling the snow here. And my shoulders and back just can’t take much more.
Come on Springtime!!!
