Spring Can't Come Fast Enough

Such a beautiful day and nothing like yesterday with wet snow and 40 mph wind gusts.  The weatherman just mentioned on the news that the snow and wind will return in a couple days.  Darn! 

Bike man and I returned home yesterday after attending a 3 1/2 day lakes/streams conference in Stevens Point.  Apparently, I crossed paths with someone that had Strep, and guess what?  I came down with strep throat during the later part of the conference.  I wasn't actually diagnosed until I went to Urgent Care this morning with swollen glands, achy neck and a throat that felt like it was on fire.  Never thought I'd pick strep at my age....very weird.  I came home with a prescription of Amoxicillin for the next ten days, so that should do the trick. 

I've been feeling restless with being sick and sleeping a lot, so I went outside today with my camera to look for spring surprises.  Hey, my rhubarb is coming up....yippee!

And, our garlic is sprouting too.  Despite the wet snow and blustery conditions returning soon, spring is just around the corner.  Here in Western Wisconsin, we just have to be patient.
