The Pharmacy Chick

Pharmacy Chick loves the outdoors. Unfortunately she lives in a part of the country that is less than hospitable for a good part of the year. She should move…yes it sounds like a better idea all the time. Dig up those well established roots and move them south. Woo Hoo!

Its been a really long winter, and even tho I look at the calendar and it says “end of April”, the weather screams “middle of February”. So what gives??? Right about now I’d happily accept a little global warming because my part of the globe is still quite cold, thank you very much. Even the flowers that bloomed probably regretted it when a late freeze blew in last week. I mean whoa, the daffodils are probably thinkin ” what the …? its April! enough of the snow already!”

Well, the great God of All listened and brought the Big Glowing Orb (the sun) to our area last weekend. Of the 48 continuous hours I was off duty, I likely spent 16 of them outside. It wouldn’t have mattered what I was doing: gardening, shoveling dog doo, or tanning my brains out, Pharmacy Chick was not going to be found under a roof unless absolutely necessary. She actually dug a pair of shorts out of the neatly-put-away-summer-clothes stock and paraded around her embarassingly white legs.

The next 10 days don’t look so hot (literally and figuratively) but the weekend was certainly worth leaving all my household chores behind. Hope springs eternal….I’m not putting the shorts back.
