Mar 14^th, 2014 at 7:38am "Spring is sprung, the grass is riz, I wonders where the birdies is. Some say the birds is on the wing, but that's absurd. I always thought the wing was on the bird." Spring is the time that a young girl's fancy lightly turns to love, and blokes like me love to turn to light the fire. Food should be fun, it's Spring, so let the barbecue begin!

Reply #2 - Mar 15^th, 2014 at 2:40am Just enjoying the first tropical storm of autumn (fall), doesn't feel like spring at all. Looks like we're escaping the worst of the predicted weather here (120kmph winds and 100mm of rain).

Surely spring can be in the mind, even if it's not in the air. A delightful reason to look forward, happy days ahead, pretty colours, good food, good friends.

I was amazed to learn only last week that almost every state of America has its own recipe for BBQ sauce, and there's even songs about it! That in itself is cause to celebrate, to contemplate just what's next on the plate, and how best to enjoy good company.

Let spring begin.

Reminds me of a BBQ I attended in New England many moons ago when the owner had to first dig the BBQ out from the snow, but that didn't stopping him doing some great steaks. For some strange reason everyone else spent most of the time indoors.

But... the katsup, or catsup, mustard, onions, peppers and tomato sauce/paste/juice, tabasco were invented in Vegas. P.S. and the salt used in Texas BBQ is grown in the Vegas Valley.

It's in my head, Schmitty, forcing out other things that are unwelcome and giving me a reason to smile.

Got a nice recipe for me? I'd love to know how to BBQ fish to perfection. A special sauce, perhaps, or just a picture of some spring flowers.

Such lovely thoughts can be better than medicine.

Well, the weather in East Texas has just been nice. Got all the windows open and the sun's been shinning for a week..... then the sun goes away and we're getting April Showers (to grow the Purdy little flowers).

Guess it's time to have a "changing of the closets" again and get out the sandles.. And am I ready? You betcha.. Remind me not to complain when it gets hotter than hades around July and August..

Cheers Dauber, and welcome. We all have our own ways of coping.

"I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

(Joyce Kilmer)
