Spring is Here!

Well the calendar says it's spring...well that sure does sound good.

It's been a long winter with so much snow. It's really been very beautiful to watch it coming down, smothering the drab barren countryside with it's shimmering veil of white diamond dust. A few weeks ago when it was so cold and frosty, it flickered like heaven's Jeweler had just thrown down a few.
Well this year...it wasn't just a few...We actually had about 4 feet on the level and several feet of snow plowed up into huge banks. Yes many of theose banks are still all around my yard but...they are melting. The back yard is still covered with a foot or two of the white stuff.
We have about 3 days of rain in the forcast, so it will likely take much of it.

Everyone here is anxiously awaiting the first sighting of a robin, some pussy willows and the first sound of frogs peeping. Then we will know that spring has indeed arrived.
