What’s New in Springfield, NE
March 26, 2008
Spring has finally arrived! Maybe every day doesn’t feel like spring, but a few warm days pop up now and then. I have observed quite a few hardy Nebraska folk who must be plenty sick of wearing their winter duds. They are out in their shorts and flip flops, even on days when the temps are down in the 40’s. I’m too cold blooded for that. (I’m guessing I inherited wimpy genes) My summery clothes are still way back in the storage closet.
