It's Spring (really !) in the Willamette Valley

The camellias are starting to bloom out
Skunk cabbage heads are up in the creekbeds,
Bulbs are sprouting through
Grass has turned true green
Buds are showing on the trees

Nothing on the lilacs yet... They know better.
We sometimes get a cold spell in February

@ Lamplighter: skunk, grass and bud...I hear ya bro. I hear ya.

I did not wake up to find my balls submerged in magma.

Hell...if that does not make me thrilled to death...I don't know what could. (not that I have ever woken up to that before...but If i did I have no doubt that i would be REALLY UNHAPPY.)

I was gonna say nothing is making me happy today, then I read froth's post and decided I am happy about the lack of magma anywhere near my balls, so yeah, life is good.

how about smegma?

Lack of smegma is an everyday condition for which I (and others) are grateful.

yeah...I'm happy about the lack of that too:D

Congrats SG and plthijinx! Fantastic news.

Saw someone wearing a t-shirt the other day which said "I love SG".

Oh but Aussies have such good taste!
That's made me even happier, thanks Case.

I'm happy because I have my start date, and my start date is Monday.
So I had my last day with 2a today, and my last with Class 2 on Friday.
Better get baking some goodbye cakes - I'll really miss them. I've only just got their names sorted as well...

That's wonderful! I hope the little boy you're assigned to grows to love you as quickly as the other children have. :)

How exciting for you Sundae!

My mom is going through a stressful time at the moment, and yesterday I sent her some flowers. She sent me a picture of them today and told me how that made her day and brightened her spirits. I am happy I had the opportunity to make her happy, if only for a little while.

It was sunny and in the 80's yesterday. Spring is just around the corner.

Highs of 40s - 50's sunny and beautiful for several days.

We will get some of the usual rain soon but it will be in the 50's. I hope we get an early spring.
