What is this "spring" that you speak of?

Spring is allegedly on it's way. Or so they say. The sun is out today, which is a major improvement over earlier this week, but it's still cold - hence my skepticism. It snowed two more inches on Thursday, which is just enough to muck things up.

In the meantime, Alex is so antsy for warm weather that he keeps firing up the grill. It's almost as if he believes that the more he grills, the sooner spring will arrive. I'm not sure if it is working, but I give him credit for trying.
