Where are you located? Here in middle TN (zone 6) we've heard lovelorn
frogs on a few less chilly nights, but no spawn yet.

Great to hear. I do have a question for you in regards to where you
live . "Reading" How is it pronounced, with a long E or short? There
was town in Pensylvania called Reading, with a short E
prounounciation, but I have been to other places that pronounce it
with a long E. Hey its been many many years and i may have forgot
short and long sounds etc and sounding words out so pardon my
ignorance if my terminology is off! Just curious thats all.

Roy, you weren't that messed up. In primary education we tell the kids:
When 2 vowels go walking the first one does the talking.
IMNSHO, if they want it pronounced Reding, then spell it that way....., but
I'd only say that to some town in the US, not in the UK where our language
came from and we Yanks joyously slaughter it daily. ;o) ~ jan

Yep Americans can sure slaughter the Brits pronounciations.......
such as Aluminum. There is always fussing about that word in the
metal working groups which contain high numbers of Brits......

Hey, it's English. There's no rules :-) After all, the past tense of
"read" is "read" - pronounced differently.
