"If this isn't nice, I don't know what is."

Today is the last frost date for our zone..hooray. Of course it's raining like heck and will be for the upcoming week,but it IS the last frost date!

My last frost date was April 5 - and it has been snowing during the night - it is May 15, isn't it? - raining hard, have the furnace on -

Isn't it nice... Yes it is, the Indigo Bunting visits a couple of times a day, my Chinese Dogwood is in full bloom for the first time after all the mishaps the poor thing had (ice breaks, locust damage, frost last year) and my furnace kicked on, so it is nice and warm inside despite the rain nd wind.

Thank you, Lilo---very nice quote---It reminds me of almost a month ago when I had a sudden surge of happiness that lifted me and made me feel free as a child. Then a minute or so later, it slowly dimmed and went on its' way---almost as though it were a speck of happiness out making its' rounds. I wish it would come back; I'd like to feel that way most of the time....I admire people who just plain DECIDE they might as well be happy...
