A HEAT WAVE!!!!

You know it has been a long and cold winter when:
1. You are thrilled to see the grass in your yard after 90 days of snow cover.
2. It is 45 degrees out and you feel like wearing short sleeves.
3. It is 52 degrees out (today) and you can hear your flip-flops calling.
4. While riding down the road in Illinois you swear something looks different. Then your husband says there isn't any snow here.
5. You can finally take your christmas lights off of the bushes. The snow is gone!!!
5. The lake is thawing out!!!!
