Sure Fire Ways to Invoke Spring

I think this funny picture reflects how many of us feel on this first day of Spring.  The ground is still covered in snow and the temperatures are still reflecting Winter and yet, the calendar says it should be otherwise.  What can we do to invite the spirit of Spring?  Here are a few of my suggestions:

• Listen to "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles and Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" as many times as you can stand it.
• Start planning what you're going to plant in your garden this year.  I love looking through all my gardening magazines and catalogs.  It takes the edge off the winter blues.
• Fire up the BBQ grill!  That will help chase away the snow.
• Throw a Luau party for your friends, complete with tropical drinks and beach wear
