Signs of Spring
« on: April 17, 2014, 06:11:22 PM »
Dogwoods and Redbuds are in full bloom -- really look great this year. First hummingbirds of the season arrived today. Maybe because we put out a feeder yesterday.

Dogwoods in bloom here, the daffodils already have come and gone. Trees are turning green again, and the sound of lawn mowers has rung throughout the neighborhood the last two weekends.

The dogwoods at WOF were beautiful last weekend.
I need to get downtown Jeff and see if they are in bloom around the capital/gov's mansion yet

Spring???  Well maybe. We are selling RVs like "mustangs"  I was moving them things all over this week-even in the "rain/snow/sleet" mix monday.

I am scheduled to deliver (walk thru) 7 units this Saturday.  (OH BOY) the shop is only open for 6 hours on Saturdays. Each walk thru is approx 2 hours.  yea well lets add up the OT.

Good Friday/Mem weekend/Labor Day weekend/Thanksgiving weekend is generally the busiest of the year. 

Cmon all. Come out and buy a new ($300k) RV. Or even a $14k trailer.

Spring is here indeed

Can't wait for Spring up here. We got 11" of new snow on top of 6-7" left on the ground. Don't look like we'll be able to get down to Branson until right after Memorial Day through  June 13-14 or so....not exact yet. Getting real anxious for warmer weather.

I do miss the dogwoods, but up here they probably wouldn't bloom until late June. ;)
