ah yes spring

Otherwise stated as:

Spring is such a tease.
Where we live spring comes s-l-o-w-l-y.
March however has those magic moments where we forget.
The sun is warm.  Brown earth appears,  2 feet of snows melts down to 2 inches and
one's heart hopes and prays that we are there, in the midst of spring.
In two days the calendar says SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Spring yes....but,

the reality of New England and Maine sets in - the temperatures drop,
the skies cloud over,  darken 
and 
the flakes fall.
an inch or two or fourteen.
The other half of this is that spring snows don't last
because it is spring
coming slowly.
