Spring ...........Hello.........Are you there.

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens

Well Charlie if you lived were I live, Maine, you would change that March to May. Yesterday was the first day of spring and it snowed, rained, snowed again then rained with 40 mph wind gust. The Crocuses and the Daffodils are starting to bloom, but in my case they are still under 4 feet of snow. I saw my first Robin yesterday it had on a down coat and a beak warmer. The trees are just starting to bud, not. And you can feel the warm spring sun on you bare arms if it were not 33 degrees. I think I want this winter to end, do ya think. It seems to have snowed every other day this season. I wore my snow shovel down too a nub. I had to use a latter to throw the snow on top of my 10 foot pile in my driveway. I love the beauty that snow brings too our landscape around our area, but I have had too much beauty this year. I need the beauty of flowers, green grass and trees filled with leaves. So mother nature please give us a break and get over that "It's not nice to fool mother nature" Chiffon margarine thing.
