Vernal Equinox

Today marks the start of spring. I'm weary of winter and this is a time of new beginnings. Bring 'em on!

After our big expotition yesterday we're moving a little slow today. We intend to get to FOUND to redo our walls in the front booth but at the rate we're going so far today I'm not so sure that'll happen. It's beautiful outside - sunny and almost warm (provided you're sitting in the sun, bundled up with a cat asleep in your lap). I feel a nap coming on.

There's still a little ice at the wood's edge and in the ditches but the thaw seems to be continuing right on schedule.

A 'creek' is running in our driveway,

under the last bit of ice. It's nice to hear the sound of water
accompanied by woodpeckers and cardinals.

It's just amazing how verdant the growth is under the snow. The rhododendron is covered from top to bottom in buds, and it looks like it's going to put on quite a show this year.

Okay, time to face the mountain of stuff in the living room.
Maybe I'll make a cup of strong cup of black tea first...
