It's Spring..Or is it?

Wednesday marked the first day of Spring.  As far as I can tell, the memo that was supposed to be delivered to Mr. Winter letting him know that he could take a nice long rest has been delayed in delivery.  I think we need to hire a new delivery service next year.  I usually love Winter, but it has seemed to drag on for so long this year.  It has played a lot of games.  It will be sunny, beautiful, and warm on one day, and then the next there is snow and wind.  Needless to say it has left me slightly in doubt of the existence of anything besides Winter.  Today I took a road trip into Maryland and was assured that Spring is indeed trying come.  I can't tell you the indescribable happiness I felt in seeing new lambs, calves, patches of blooming daffodils, and the beginnings of what look like buds starting on trees!   Here's to hoping that the memory of seeing these beautiful things will help me make it through the 3-6 inches of snow that is being forecasted for tomorrow evening and Monday.
