Joe, I took these photos with you and your "early spring" in mind. I took 'em about 45 minutes ago - as Nancy and I were heading to the hot tub, out in the back porch. The porch is roofed and screened, and we not only have the hot tub out there but also the gas grill. First photo is with the cover still closed, the second is after I'd opened it. No, Nancy is NOT in either photo. If she were the chat line might be pretty much a one-topic talkathon tonight, hey? Anyway, take a close look at the pictures and tell me how far away spring is - in your honored opinion.
