Lizards hide from snow

The weather today was awesome! It was probably around 70 degrees outside, sunny, and a little breezy. I love weather like that. I spent a lot of time outdoors today. The days are getting longer, too. Pretty soon, daylight savings will kick in and the days will be even longer. The kids love this weather, too. They like to ride their scooters around the driveway. The little boy with blond hair is into baseball. The girl indulges him some. She plays with him for awhile, but then she gets bored and changes the rules of the game. The little blond haired boy will cry and holler about the unfairness of it all. Yesterday, the big kid came home and whacked the little blond haired boy with a stick. The big kid claimed it was an accident, but it wasn't. I saw the whole thing. Kids. But enough about them . . .

This is the end of winter and the beginning of spring. There is an anticipation in the air that is contagious. We've been cooped up all winter long inside the house beside the fireplace. My roommate refuses to raise the thermostat above 70 degrees, so the change in the weather outside is a welcome change. Listening to the dopey weather guy on the news tonight was disheartening, though. He says that the weather is about to change again in the morning. No more sun, rain moving in, severe weather is possible, and there will be snow later on in the week. I wish the weather would make up it's mind already.

I'm ready for lizards to come out again. I love trying to catch those things! But lizards don't like cold weather.
