Listen Up!

  There are rules, people. Rules. Halloween is in October. Not September. I don't want to see
Halloween decorations before the official start of fall, according to Linda's rules for living.
  Here's how the seasons really lay out. Anyone who tells you different is just plain wrong.
  Spring is March through May. Summer is June through August. September is a prelude to fall.
Fall is October through November. Winter is December through February.
  March 1st is the first day of the new year. This is when you put out the spring things. In
June you put out more flowers. September is when you cut back on the flowers. In October
you take away the flowers and put out the golden leaves and other fall things. You are now
allowed to put out Halloween things. December, and not before, you can bring out Christmas
joy.
   If you follow these rules, you're life will be much better and you will make me happy. That's
very important. Making me happy.

Some planned to sleep, but played instead and went over the allotted hour. Well, that hour wasn't a gift. It was a loan. Now it's time to pay it back. We'll pay it back with lost of sleep and a sense of missing something. But, as the days get longer and the sun shines more, we will forget the pain of handing over one precious hour and we go out and play. Happy days!!!

Spring is here?

Good news.  New York saw the first robin of spring.  It was encased in ice.
