April Showers are supposed to be rain

Ahh snow...how I dislike thee (we aren't supposed to hate), let me count the ways:
1) You are cold
2) You require cold to exist
3) You make travel treacherous
4) IT'S APRIL!!
5) Did I mention the cold?

And just so I don't totally miss a month, I'm posting this on the next to last day of what should be a spring-time April...you know the one where I watched a virtual blizzard out my office window. But let's not throw Mother Nature under the bus, it's us humans doing it, right. Global warming and all of that.

Anyone ever hear the term "yard fun"? Yeah me neither. Why do I have one when the only word it gets paired with is "work"? I guess in the 50's it was so Dad could experience the frustration of Mom at having to do a lot of work, only to watch it be undone. But now that we live in an enlightened age where Dad should be washing dishes and doing laundry and cleaning the house, can't we get rid of yard work? Can't we just get grass that greens up on it's own, doesn't need sprinklers that break every year, and stays the same nice even height? I mean, come on!
