It's gonna be a bright sun shiny day!

The beautifu view of the lake on my way to work this morning. (Don't worry, I was stopped at a red light when I took this picture)
I'm extremely excited to report that the sun is shining so much that I actually saw some grass pop out in our front yard underneath the melting snow this morning! It brought joy to my heart - so much joy in fact that I didn't even mind wading through a river of water from the melted snow to get from the back door to the garage.

Is it just wishful thinking to hope that spring is on the way?

On to other bizarre news, this morning as I exited the beltline and stopped at a light I was amazed to see hundreds (I promise I'm not exaggerating) of cigarette butts all over the side of the road as well as there was an unusually large amount of trash littering the roadway as well. Just a few feet away a saw a sign that read "Welcome to Fitchburg, Wisconsin's leader in recycling." I thought it was pretty funny to boast in the recyling when half the crap on the side of the road (soad bottles and such) should have been recycled. Oh Wisconsin!
