In like a Lamb...

The warmer weather in these parts is most welcome. But Mother Nature will kick our collective asses, I just know it! She's watching and goading us to put away our hats, scarves, and mits. She is smirking as we hang up the snow shovels and take the ice scrapers out of our cars. "Just wait, my pretties", she chortles. "Remember my rule: In like a lamb, out like a lion."

So, I will put the tools that battle winter "out-of-the-way" but not "away". She may get the last laugh, but at least I will be ready, sort of.
