How can that be? You live in the country! You have kids and animals roaming all over the place!<br /><br />But I agree. They are totally gross creatures. I take a certain delight in flushing them down the toilet. Bwahahaha!<br /><br />Roaming the Hills is as romantic as you think! On foot or in our "new to us" pickup truck, it's delightful. And someday, someday, we'll find the perfect few acres of forest and continue to live happily ever after, but with the melody of the wind in the pines lulling us to sleep. :)Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-92165518696544243752017-03-06T19:09:57.780-05:002017-03-06T19:09:57.780-05:00I can't really think of anything I consider a ...I can't really think of anything I consider a food sign of spring. Summer = the first iced coffee, but our ice cream stores are open year round so there's no such thing as Spring Opening. <br /><br />In some ways, I guess, I think of my favorite summer places in Maine reopening for the season as a sign that spring is here.Cate Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424872139114718902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-46689766646908270302017-03-06T18:15:54.454-05:002017-03-06T18:15:54.454-05:00Spring has arrived when ice cream stores open!!!! ...Spring has arrived when ice cream stores open!!!! Armadillos sounds wonderful!!!! <br /><br />And I love the thought of roaming those hills. There's romance in them thar hills!<br /><br />We've got the up-and-downs of winter spring going on right now, but that's all right... except for the tick I found on Jasper the big orange cat... I've never seen a tick before. <br /><br />GROSS CREATURE. :)Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-18736291767420239862017-03-06T14:54:15.380-05:002017-03-06T14:54:15.380-05:00I hope your weather evens out before summer hits!
...I hope your weather evens out before summer hits!<br /><br />Our winter has been normal, with plenty of cold weather and snow. I love it! And spring is coming at a normal pace, too.<br /><br />And ice cream is good in all kinds of weather, isn't it?Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-77956173002511927122017-03-06T14:25:06.167-05:002017-03-06T14:25:06.167-05:00Well, after the warmest winter on record here in n...Well, after the warmest winter on record here in north Texas, signs of spring are all over the place. However, while the grass is greening and trees are fluttering their leaves, I have yet to see any wild flowers. I'm on the lookout, though, anticipating the purplish-blue hue of a bluebonnet any day. i can't wait. <br /><br />In the meantime, it's heater in the morning, air conditioning in the afternoon. So bring on the ice cream.

One thing about the shop being closed from October 31 until March 1 is that people start craving the deliciousness...<br /><br />I did go on Friday, just after they opened for the day, and stood in line for 20 minutes to get an ice cream cone (I chose the baby size - enough for a taste, but not too big). It was worth every minute of the wait. <br /><br />And thanks for the good wishes as we look for land. It's a retirement dream, so we have a few years. And if we end up never buying any, at least we have a lot of fun looking. :)Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-1072302056342899922017-03-06T12:12:55.743-05:002017-03-06T12:12:55.743-05:00LOL!

It just rolls off your tongue. :)<br /><br />And yes - the yo-yoing weather is certainly a sign of spring. The equinoxes are known for stormy weather, so we expect it...and enjoy the warm days when they're here.Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-19869947233715595112017-03-06T09:15:58.619-05:002017-03-06T09:15:58.619-05:00Yummy!

B...Ooohhh...buy a parcel of land sounds like fun!!! But not if you have to cliff climb up to it. LOL<br /><br />I'm so glad that no armadillos were harmed in the making of that ice cream. :-) <br /><br />We've had unseasonably warm temp for a couple of weeks and then wham, freezing windchill and yucky snow hit us but it's warming up again this week. More rain to wash away the snow. So I guess you could say yoyoing weather is a sure sign of spring when March hits. LOL And birds start singing. The robins aren't back yet, but the little sparrows and cardinals and blue jays who winter here have a whole new vocabulary once the sun gets warmer.<br /><br />Congrats on the book re-release. That is awesome!Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.com
