I suffer no illusions that winter is finished with us just
yet. March can be a fickle lover. One day the sun shines and the mercury flirts
with sixty only to turn around and find the next day drearily overcast, back in
thirties. It’s springs' big tease month.
Today is one of those teaser days. The garden centers are hopping and cars are being washed.
It really wasn't a bad winter. For the second year in
a row we've escaped the big snow event. I like a big snow storm but only for the
first few days. After a week the beauty of a fresh blanket of white snow is
replaced by cinder encrusted mounds of melting snow along the roads.
Hopefully we’re done now. Tomorrow morning we’ll jump our
clocks ahead an hour and edge one step closer to the warmer days ahead.
I’m ready.... apparently so are the daffodils.
