It's Here At Last!

The Word From On High hereby declares that as of this day, April 17, SPRING has officially arrived. What has caused me to finally shove the parka to back of the closet along with the snow shovel and boots? Was it the temperature, the fact that today is the tax filing deadline and yesterday was Easter? No, it was passing, on my way home, one of my neighbors mowing his lawn and catching a noseful, for the first time this season, of the aroma that truly heralds the coming of spring: the smell of fresh cut grass.

So, tell your friends: SPRING is here because RAY said so, and let there be rejoicing throughout the countryside!
