Welcome Spring. Goodbye Snow . . . Please!

That's the message on the bank sign in downtown Farmington. LOL. It's soooo true. As you can tell from the temperature, it's definitely getting warmer. This picture was taken right around 2pm so it was probably the warmest part of the day. But they're predicting highs in the 50's tomorrow (Wednesday) and maybe even the 60's by the end of the week. Whooop! I still don't mind the snow but I know that if we get to have 3 more seasons before the snow comes back again, I'll appreciate the snow even more. So I am looking forward to spring, short as it may be.

4/15/08 an odd parade

I'm not sure what this was about and this picture doesn't do it justice, but this "parade" was on the street moving ever so slowly in front of our house. Waaaay in the front is a street sweeper. Behind that is a front-end loader/tractor kind of vehicle. Behind that is a dump truck. And not in this picture 'cuz it just turned the corner, but behind the dump truck was a City of Farmington water truck. The street sweeper was cleaning the street but I don't understand what all the other vehicles were there for. I hope someone will comment and fill me in.
