For my buddy Sam

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

I’ve been sub teaching a lot lately, and I’ve had my buddy Sam quite a bit. Every time I see him, he asks:

“Is the snow gone from my site yet?”

Well Sam, here’s your answer:

Sam\'s Camper

And no, I can’t put the the heaters on it!

But don’t feel too badly. You’re site could look like Big Joe’s:

See how he still has snow on his roof? Just look at his picnic table!! And I don’t know about you, but I don’t think he’ll be opening that front door for a week or so.

The whole campground is like this Sam. Bare spots of ground are poking through here and there, but I’m sinking in up to my knees in most places when I walk to the lake. I still had to wear snowshoes as of yesterday!

I think it’s going to melt wicked quickly now, though. You’ll see!

Remember this picture from my March 1st post?

Well, from the same spot, it looks like this now . . .

Isn’t that better?

Before you know it we’ll be seeing this:

And swimming like Cookie did yesterday!

So hang in there Sam. Spring is coming!
