Top 5 Signs that Spring has Arrived in Central Oregon

5. All Central Oregon motorist have once again the pleasure of being able to engage in Spring's most fun and challenging waste of time: dodging pot holes. Courtesy of ice, cold and the ODOT.

4. The stuff falling from the sky is liquid again, and only a few, random bastions of die-hard snow are hanging on for dear life in the shadows of deep forest. Yes, even here in La Pine.

3. My pets - one dog and two cats - have in unison decided that now would be a good time to shed.

2. People have yet again the unique opportunity to waste endless hours of their precious time at Les Schwab - waiting for their tires to get changed over from studs to regular.

1. I saw two grey squirrels yesterday, playing what I thought upon first glance was a game of tag. When the bigger one suddenly mounted the smaller one, it dawned on me that maybe it wasn't tag they were playing - and that indeed Spring now has arrived in Central Oregon.

Yeah.
