OK, so I finally got outside this afternoon. And quickly shed the fleece jacket.

Yep. It was T-shirt only (and pants and shoes, of course) as I walked in the woods out back of my house.

What gives?

I mean, I'm not complaining that much. But what the heck happened to February and March?

We just gonna skip them and get right on with spring?

Say it ain't so.

My skis are right here by the door. Waiting patiently. And they don't look happy. Hopefully, they don't go Stephen King-weird-like on me and attack me in the middle of the night.

So, thanks for the breather and all Mother Nature. But could you please throw a little snow our way soon?!

Uh oh. I think my skis just made a move toward me... Hurry, please. Snow!!

Warm sun, blue skies, red pines and afternoon shadows in Baxter Woods.
