50 Days

Starting yesterday, I realized spring is almost here. When winter's halfway over, I start thinking about how soon it will be March 20 or March 21, or March 22, whenever the first day of spring happens. Some years I do a countdown. On the first day of spring I buy a pot of tulips and have spring food, like lamb and fruit salad. Yes, I eat baby sheep to celebrate them (they're already dead ... ) ... maybe I will re-think that one.
