It's coming

Ssshhhhhhh....It's coming. Just listen. Hear that? Yup. Robins. They're back. And they're singing their hearts out - 'Cause it's SPRING!!! And ya wanna know how I know? Look! These guys are crawling all over the house right outside the door. They're thick too! I think they brought the whole family. Aunts, cousins, Uncle Louie - the whole bunch of 'em.

And this little guy was a whole inch shorter just yesterday when we found him.

And this. Yes this. This is the best part. This is all that's left of the snow pile that was taller than me only a few weeks ago. Sweet, sweet victory!

[contented sigh] Warm, fresh air. Birds singing. Spring. Yeah, I could really get used to this.

How much more of this?

This is what's happening outside right now:

See those white spots? Know what they are? I'll give you a hint. They're really big, really wet snowflakes. And they're falling heavily and all over. Okay, so I might have given that one away just a bit.

The groundhog came and went, and still we're "enjoying" winter. How much more snow? How much longer until warm sunny weather? I'm rather ready now.
