NEARLY GIDDY



It's true. I am ... nearly giddy ... but not quite really giddy. SPRING is here. Now I'm a good Canadian. I can enjoy snow. If it doesn't come in a wave of storms that need to be constantly shovelled out of my driveway ... but SPRING ... I love it....


.... stuff is coming up ... bits of bright in amongst the dull vestiges of winter. That's why I'm only just "nearly" giddy ... the REALLY giddy will come when there is more bright than dull.


"Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush" (Doug Larson, Olympic Runner)


While there may not be slush in my shoes ... there's still some brisk winds blowing ... but I won't wear the winter coat anymore ... I'd rather be cold than admit I still need it. It's spring ... I shouldn't need it anymore ... right?

I get absolutely giddy in spring too. Jeff just rolls his eyes. He doesn't fight it anymore.

I fling open all the windows until we're freezing to death.

Great quote!!!
