the snow goes off in a nice way.
It takes forever for the sun to melt it off,
but a good rain like today's drives it down while the fog lifts it.
Double whammy.
Snow today has been disappearing wonderfully.
Pond is reappearing and is big enough that spring ducks are back.
Red winged blackbird call yesterday- Oh oh. To me that is the first sign of spring.
Deep in my soul I understand that it is not spring.
It is the second week of March yet one feels spring a little bit,
even when it is wet and chilly.
The shift from one season to the next is subtle
and subject to change
but at least one knows the days are longer, the sun warm, the birds returning,
we have made it over the hump.
