Gary shares this last one. It sounds perfect for this weekend. We might have snow. Today’s high is supposed to reach low-70’s. The cold front moves in tonight. Tomorrow’s high is 50º. Saturday’s is 34º with snow. Our ground is so warm, not only are the daffodils and hyacinth’s blooming, so are the pear trees, dogwoods and weeping willows. Just gorgeous even though it’s producing major allergens!!!!!!!!!!!
You long timer’s know how much I love soup too! ;-)

Appreciate what you have.
Be thankful and stop complaining.
