April Showers Bring...Corn on the Cob?



April showers are supposed to bring May flowers but what if the April showers are actually snow storms? Not just any snow storms mind you, but three straight days of 40-50 mph wind gusts, power outages, two inches of rain and now over a foot of snow in some parts of our great state! That's life in Wisconsin.

It wouldn't be so bad but after a few days of 60 degree weather you sort of get your mind set on Spring type events such as putting away the Christmas decorations that, up until a week ago, were still frozen in the ground, maybe doing a little spring cleaning, watching the grass get greener with each passing day, getting the boats ready for Summer and all that other good stuff that one normally does around mid-April.

Instead of going to a zoo, watching an early season baseball game, or just going to play on the swings at the neighborhood park, the highlight for the boys this month was eating corn on the cob for the first time! Things can only get better.
