The First Day of Spring

... and what do I hear? HAIL! I look out the window and yes, little ice pellets on the first day of spring. See the little chunks of ice in my primulas? Oh oh, does this mean more rain for us? I'm so glad I'm taking a warm vacation in 4 weeks.

Yesterday, JP, the kid and I all ran some errands. But we had to leave the house in the heaviest downpour of the day. Super fast rain! When we got home, the kid pointed to the front of the courtesy car and asked why it was on fire. Well, it wasn't on fire but it was smoking. It turned out to be some antifreeze dripping on the hot block. A blown hose/hose clamp. This is the second time that a Jetta has come to die in our driveway. And how many of you get a courtesy car that's worse than your own car? I take mine to a dealership and get a 1-2 year old car. He takes his to a shop and god know what he'll get. That's a big scary, especially considering the distance he drives.

Happy Spring! Even if it's a wet one!
