a surer sign of spring

[twoplustwo]

Impending ice out, loons, moles, increased traffic - yes, it's here! A surer sign is the tick I just picked off of one of the dogs and the spider the size of Detroit I just found in my bathtub.:eek:

In the next few minutes I expect the poison ivy to pop up and a swarm of black flies to invade. Yuck. But at least we don't have to shovel the black flies:laugh:

A spider the size of Detroit, eh? :eek: Sounds to me like the Pine Island Ice Monster has found his way to your house! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

and a swarm of black flies to invade.


They are out already. I had a few bites while raking the yard on Saturday.

Black flies aren't allowed out until Mother's Day. I still have time to scoop the last of the snow out of my flower garden before they chase me inside, right??:cool:

PLEASE... I do not need the black flies.
Still have snow on part of my garden in Meredith.
