break-up

it is happening as I type. Break-up, that magical time of year when the ice releases the water ways of the north land. The river are all open and most of the lake are just a rainfall away from being the same. The trees are starting to bud, some of the grass is greening up, the yard is full of standing water, the sump pump is running 24 seven and it is only a short time until the bugs will arrive in swarms............. man I miss winter already!!!!!!!!
