For some reason this year my wife has spring break off. It makes no sense, she could never get spring break off when we, you know, actually had kids off on spring break.

I must admit that having a spring break when the weather is actually spring like is beautiful. Though many of you would consider our spring to be summer. The outside temps are pushing 73° and the sun is warm but the breeze is cool. Yesterday I had to break down an d fire up the Deere for the first time this year.
