Fool's Spring, indeed, @ericvancewalton. We have a similar experience leading to our annual joking or pleading with our bushes and flowers NOT to fall for it this year. Of course, they don't listen and every Spring we experience the same thing. Out comes the buds and blossoms and WHAM, it freezes and snows some more.

They seemed to be used to it, though, and come back for more of the same year after year! Hahaha ...

"As I was doing my daily curation today I noticed my Hive reputation score finally hit 80. Yes! I’ve been at a 79 for what seems like a year and a half."

Just getting started, this seems like an amazing accomplishment. Especially when reading it took a year and a half from 79. Congratulations! I would imagine very few get anywhere close to that.

P.S. Here reading my first post from your account, it is intriguing looking at the picture on your profile and then reading you are writing from Minnesota. That profile image is very unlikely to have been taken anywhere near Minnesota, so I would imagine there must be a story behind it. A link is welcome, to read about it, if it has been written and not too much trouble to find it.
