Re: Spring is FINALLY Here!!!
Usually the first sign of spring around here is the robin (Wisconsin state bird) making his appearance.
The first sign of summer is the REAL state bird ... the mosquito ...

Whenever I think of Spring, I think of this song...
All joking aside, though, it really is wonderful weather out there today...too bad it's going up into the 80s tomorrow (Virginia Springs are over before they begin)

Tom Lehrer! I hadn't thought of him in years! Great! Pretty soggy up here in NH also, Randi. The mandolin is still an inside instrument. I love playing it outdoors, hopefully it won't be long.
Re: Spring is FINALLY Here!!!
In Munich it is snowing. This is the sixth straight month with snow. So: playing a lot of blues!
Re: Spring is FINALLY Here!!!
Dull,rainy,windy with more to come in the North of England. In Scotland & Northern Ireland, up to 2 foot of snow in parts & i'm hoping that it doesn't come down as far as my home. Over here,spring is when the birds stop coughing !,

Cold, wet and windy here in the very West of Germany, exactly how I like it, reminds me so much of Orkney...

Re: Spring is FINALLY Here!!!
Still snow on the ground 50 miles north of of Aberdeen (Scotland), as I type it's started snowing again. The forecast as sunny for next few days, so I'm hoping to get out to the Cairngorms and do some hill walking.
