I know. There is nowhere else in the country that even knows what that is. It's a Massachusetts thing. We have a lot of those things. Jeff Foxworthy has a whole bit on "You know you live in New England if..." Here are few good ones:
If you measure distance in hours, you live in New England.
If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day and back again, you live in New England.
If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in New England.
If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you live in New England.
If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you live in New England.
If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you live in New England.
If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you live in New England.
If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you live in New England.
If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you live in New England.
If there's a Dunkin Donuts on every corner, you live in New England.
These are probably only funny if you actually live here or if you know New Englanders. But that last one is truest of all. What is it with our caffeine addiction? Maybe that's why we're always so cranky?
In flower news, my first tulip has opened! I planted many, many bulbs last fall and the tulips are beginning to make their appearances!
Here is what they look like!
Cute, no?
Well, I must run. Off to work on the boat.
Later!
I like those tulips. They look like they need to shave their legs.
