Where the heck is spring!?

Okay, so all of you Alaskans viewing this blog will know what I'm talking about when I say "where the heck is spring?! Call me crazy, but I assumed that once April hit (and I'm sure I don't need to remind anyone that this is actually mid-April) that spring would come, complete with grass, birds and the whole nine yards. I guess we all know what they say about assuming... but I won't get into that.
It is incredibly obnxious to go outside in our 12 degree weather and look over into our yard that still houses Frosty the Snowman buried in 4 1/2 feet of snow! I think the only thing that actually tops that, is the recurring blizzards that have plagued our lovely state over the past week.
All I can say, is that we better have one heck of a summer to make up for all of this nonsense!
Until then, enjoy the "spring" on this page, because who knows how long it will be before it actually makes it's appearance in Alaska!
