Has Spring Sprung Already?

Just a couple of days ago I was writing about a cold, windy day with snow flurries flying around. Today it was in the 50s and the weathermen have us forecast for sunny weather and temps in the high 60s and low 70s. Our daffodils can't decide whether to bloom or run for cover. With the warmer weather, I plan on spending some time outside and getting into the flower gardens a bit. A little early for the flowers to start coming up but I need to go through them and get some growing grass out of them. Won't be long until it is time to put mulch throughout all of the gardens. Boy does time fly by. Seems like just yesterday that I did the last mowing of the season and here we are getting ready for a new season to start. I got real lazy over the winter months and it is about time to light a fire under my hiney and get back into the swing of things.

Bits And Bytes Are Now Flowing Through The Internet Pipeline Again

Guess what??? I am back on line as of a few minutes ago. Verizon expedited my my internet connection being hooked up again. Today's telephone call....yes just one of them...was vastly different from what I went through on Monday...quite a pleasant surprise. So 4.5 hours playing telephone hockey, getting smacked from one person to another like a hockey puck....a 1/2 hour call today along with being without internet service since Monday has garnered me the following:
1) free internet use through 3/12...no charge
2)an additional 3 months of free internet use...no charge
3)an overall drop of $20 a month using my new phone and internet bundled package
4)last but not least, a $100.00 pre-paid bank card after 31 days of internet service
Not a bad pirates booty at all. Strike up one big win for the lowly consumer!!!
