Winter in Kansas

Well, it's mid-February here in Independence, Kansas and winter continues to keep a tight grip on everyone. We've had more than our fair share of snow and cold weather; at least in my estimation. People from Minnesota will laugh and say we should come up North if we want to taste real winter. Anyway, I'm ready for spring and will keep some soy candles and my recipe for hot chocolate close at hand til the grass grows and the flowers bloom.
