It really is Spring!

[taurusmoon]

A few moments ago I heard some faint music.

The kind of faux music that comes from some electronic device.

I thought that perhaps it was my cell phone that had somehow changed its ringtone to something unfamiliar. But no, my cell phone was right in front of me on the desk and was not ringing.

Chip's cellphone? Maybe he had forgotten to take it with him today.

Hmmm.

So I followed the faint sound to try to locate the errant cellphone so that I could give Chip grief for forgetting it one again.

But the music began to get louder.



And louder still.

I listened carefully and tried to locate the source of the music.

It was coming from outside.

Louder and louder it grew.

I peered out my window only to see...

An ice cream truck!

Spring has indeed sprung!

And Chip is off the hook for not having his cell phone with him.

Me too, 12:30 this afternoon

Yikes! It's deafening around here when the ice cream trucks (actually, around here they are bikes) start up. The collies are grimly determined to bark those things off the planet. Barking + ringing = hell.


I love ice cream from the ice cream truck - I can't wait until the daffodils show up, too!

I saw a Ding-Ding truck about two weeks ago - it was right after the snow storms and I went

Love it when the Ding-Ding trucks start to make it around though.

My daffodils are really trying. Really trying. But they just aren't making it yet. Some of the tips of the leaves are frost burnt from last week's ice storm. My hyacinths aren't looking great either. Almost all of their leaves are frost burnt. I am afraid they won't come up at all.

Yes it is indeed spring. No ice cream trucks here though.

My hycainths are in the sunniest part of my front garden, so they were up a couple of weeks ago. They died during that last snowstorm - they got all dark and wrinkled, and now the stems are even gone.

You don't have hyacindys at your house?

It's fracking snowing here. It was 60 degrees this afternoon, and now it is snowing. grrrr
