After last year’s wet and cold non-existent Spring, we received a gift from Mother Nature over the weekend with the first taste of warm weather in 2006. Things turned out better than expected as the temperature beat the forecast by climbing well into the 70’s and the projected rain for Saturday held off until late in the afternoon. No matter where I went I found people in a good mood with a little extra jump in their step as they spent the day running errands, exercising, or out for a stroll. The positive energy created by warm weather can be very contagious and really picks everyone up a bit.
Here are some of the ways I celebrated the weekend:
I think that’s about it. How did you spend the weekend taking in the beautiful weather?
Here are some of the ways I celebrated the weekend:
- I wore shorts for the first time in a non-party environment.
- I opened several windows to allow fresh air into our home
- The grill has made its way back into rotation for dinner preparation as I dined on some tasty cheeseburgers and BBQ chicken. Bring on the hotdogs, mussels, sea bass, and asparagus
- I worked in the yard cleaning up the remaining dead leaves and pine needles to the sexy sounds of a preview of the National League Central. My mission for the next month will be to give our backyard a makeover in a valiant attempt to make it green again. Sorry folks, the tiki hut will be retired to the big volcano in the sky
- I went out with Brendan to enjoy my first margarita (or three) of the season. The place we went shafted us on the tequila content in our drinks, but it still stands strongly as a symbol of things to come.
- The Final Four took two weeks of exciting basketball and reduced them to three awful halves. I think the UCLA-LSU game was over the second they tipped off.
- Baseball season kicked off Sunday night with the defending World Series champion Chicago White Sox taking on the Cleveland Indians. What better way to enjoy some nice weather than watching the Boys of Summer….until a third inning, three hour rain delay found me asleep long before this game ended.
I think that’s about it. How did you spend the weekend taking in the beautiful weather?

The extremely nice weather weekend was spent burning in the yard and getting rid of the huge pile of brush, tree branches, etc. that we had. Most of it is gone, though have no fear, ye who want to come burn. There is forever more to do. The chain saw also saw light for the first time since last fall and we were able to do some more clearing to expand on our ever improving view. Our grill also was put to good use with bbq chicken and grilled veggies. Good stuff.
