Another 10cm!

The weatherman is calling for another 10 cm of snow tomorrow

so, I have decided to totally ignore

anything he has to say

and just hang around some of these

pretty pictures instead.

These are generally our first harbingers of spring...

happy, sunny, yellow forsythia

and luxuriant, elegant crocuses.

Then along come the robins to feast on the fat earthworms

slowly beginning their job of waking up the soil.

Grass turns from pale grey to lush green,

trees begin to bud, and before you know it

there's warmth in the sunshine again!
