It is almost so close to Spring, Ed can taste it.
My Eddie, is ready for Winter to end. Don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of winter either. The difference is that I turn bleak at the first sign of frost, and don't cheer up until it is over. Ed, from the great midwest, anticipates the end of winter. He feels the air turn from snow to rain and he is ready for it all to end.
So close. So very close.
