The Season between Winter and Spring....

In the area where I live we are entering the season called "Pothole".

The sun has a lot of heat in it these days and starts to melt the snow, the water enters cracks and crevices in the streets and roads, then at night the temperature goes down below the freezing mark and it turns to ice which expands in the cracks. This constant cycle and the traffic causes the holes to appear, each day getting bigger and bigger, so that eventually they swallow your car. A bit of exaggeration there but they feel as if they are that big.

Then our city workers come along and fill the holes, but it just a band aid fix as they have to do it numerous times until the warmer weather arrives and stays.

Later this week our forecast is for warmer temps and possibly some rain, so if you don't hear from me for awhile you know that I am like Alice in Wonderland and I have fallen down a hole somewhere having a tea party.

Have a great day.
