Say hello to the icy Ides of April. If I told you it was even above freezing right now I'd be lying to you, and I wouldn't want to do that. Our delay will likely be at least as long as yesterday's, so I assume we won't start until at least 9 o'clock.

Half of our springtime maintenance budget has already been spent on toques and long underwear, so some cutbacks have been necessary. Please have patience with us as we cut the grass with our newly acquired fairway mowers. At least we'll be warm?
