Happy St. Patrick's Day

Wednesday the high temperature was 79 degrees and it did indeed reach 79. Baby Doodle and I went for a long walk with Girlfiend and the Fiendling and we played at the park for a while too. It was like summer. It was light out until after 7:00 p.m. and the temperature was downright balmy. Our tulips and daffodils came up and the crocuses bloomed.

Friday it sleeted, snowed and rained, and then froze. We have three inches of icy snow covering our yard, stairs, car, well everything outside. The high Friday was 31 degrees!

Today is Saturday, St. Patrick's Day. We tried to go out to Ikea to play in the cool kids' display rooms but our car won't budge. Mr. Doodlebug shoveled it out. We both chipped away at the ice patch under the front driver side tire but we still were not able to make the car move.

I don't know why I become so convinced that it's going to be warm until October just because we have a few warm days. I know it's March and March is so unpredictable. But every year I'm fooled.

Here are our flowers. Hopefully they'll survive this untimely storm and we can go back to spring again.
