Overheard in the Borepatchmobile

Somewhere southbound on Interstate 95:

Me: We got off to a good start today. We're already to Hartford, and on a normal day we'd be dropping you kids off at school around now.

#1 Son: On a normal Saturday, we'd be asleep around now.

About right, that.

As we've headed south, we've been heading forward in time, or at least in climate. At first the trees are bare and grey. Then the first shadow of green. The odd willow tree, always the first to leaf out. New York City is almost green.

We've been seriously deprived of Spring this year.

  1. Mrs Borepatch is always just a half step ahead of you, isn't she? ;)

  2. Brigid, it seems that it's included reloading lessons! Hard to beat that.

    TOTWTYTR, you don't know the half of it...

  3. You are sooo right. I can confirm that I, the Lovely and sleep deprived Mrs. Borepatch, got giddier the further south we went until she was beside herself with glee at the sight of Dogwoods, and Wisteria in bloom.
