Here on Long Island, it felt a bit like spring today. I went in to a restaurant to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday just wearing a sweater. When we left, I had to put my coat on. So I spent the best 2 hours of the day inside, but we had a blast. The place was decorated in Tuscany style, so it was an Italian evening all day long...After a great lunch, we ordered ONE dessert and split it three ways. It was a smores, ice cream thingy and HUGE. Chocolate and vanilla ice cream covered in marshmallow and hot fudge chocolate sauce topped with whipped cream and a cherry. The three of us couldn't finish it, and I am still not hungry at all...I digress...back to the weather. On the ride home, I had the windows wide open (but had the heat blasting too). Spring is definitely on it's way!!! I saw some real bunnies hopping around and the robins are showing up too. We've been lucky here by not having too many huge snow storms. And since I said that, I'm sure we will have one or more snow storms....with crocus bulbs popping out of the snow..... Maryann (aka Madame DuBois)
