Forget that today's high won't even crack the 30 degree mark....Spring is here.  Here's the top 5 reasons I know for sure.

5.  My calendar says so.

4,  Yesterday I saw my first robins of the year.

3.  I can finally see my lawn ornaments that have been buried since November.

2.  It's been at least a week since someone has asked me "Cold enough for ya?"

And the number reason I know spring is here....

1.  I stopped by Theisen's this morning and right inside the door, the snowblowers have been replaced by roto tillers and riding lawn mowers.  We'll need both soon....right?
