75 degrees and Sunny - but wait, it's March?

The last few days (weeks/months) have been unseasonally warm. The springs birds are back, flower are blooming, trees are budding and the bees are out in full force looking for food. But it's still the middle of March. Isn't supposed to be cold still? But then again this entire winter season has been extremely mild. Upon moving to Wisconsin everyone warned us of the sever winters...I think we got a maximum of 11 inches of snow and just a handful of weeks were it was cold enough to freeze the ground. Sure, it's been great not having to deal with the snow and cold, but I kind of feel like we have completely missed a season. I guess we'll see what's to come.

Acoustic Open Stage at Linnemans

So Jeremy has been playing blue grass with a group guys for three months now. They'll meet up at our friend Ivan's house (who is from Waterford, PA, plays banjo and has two of the coolest people for parents)on Thursday nights. Generally I don't go watch them play since they jam until about midnight, but on occasion I'll watch them and hangout with Ivan's girl friend Kate (all around great person: swim coach, baker, web designer.)

Anyway, last Thurday I did go watch them play. I did't have to work the next morning so I could stay out as late as I wanted. They had a great little practice and they even recorded a few of their songs just to see how it sounded. Next thing I know, they are talking about playing on Wednesday rather than on Thursday because there is an open mic night at a bar called Linnemans which wasn't too far away. And practice continued.

The next morning Jeremy asked me, "did we agree to play at an open mic night last night? Because I'm not sure if we are ready for that". Well, ready or not, they did play on Wednesday. Enjoy.
