Changing Seasons

I love watching the seasons change. Especially in these early days of transition. With high temps above freezing during the day, there has been significant melting of the record snow this winter brought. All that moisture in the air, and below-freezing temps at night means re-freezing. This is bad on my sidewalk in the morning, but it also meant that I saw trees coated with frosty whiteness as I was driving at 8:00 this morning. They were beautiful! I tried to get a few pics, but the camera on my phone isn't the greatest. Anyway, you'll have to take my word for it...it was beautiful!

I know there are a lot more signs of spring coming. And, coming soon! On March 19th of last year, I got a picture of the crocus in our yard. They were just about to bloom, and there wasn't a speck of snow in sight. In that same spot, right now, there is still a pile of snow that is 4' high. I think the crocus will have to come up through the snow this year (but, that's normal...last year wasn't).

I love winter, but if we didn't get any more snow this year, at this point, I'd be ok with that. I'm ready for a transition into spring, a new beginning.
