spring?

Yesterday, the wind blew hard, and despite the calendar, it was another winter day, with bare trees, and brown grass.

Last night it rained, and I woke up this morning and felt that perhaps today is the first day of spring. The rain had softened the earth, and the air, while cold, felt more spring-like. The possibility of spring was in the air.

Cold wet spring is easier to handle than cold, barren winter. The gumballs in the yard pile up and I must start raking them into shrub beds.

Raining here also. I did get a little gardening in the other day--well, I pulled some weeds, and have the poison ivy to show for it.
