Spring is on the Way!

It has been a looooong winter! Generally wintertime has a snuggly peacefulness that I enjoy, but this year it has me itching for spring!

We've had some celebrating, actually February and January seem to have quite a few birthdays to celebrate. This one here is my lovely daughter-in-law celebrating a milestone, with a huge helper!

We went outside this week before the nor'easter hit looking for spring, we found some moss that had been buried under the snow.

The walking trails are clear but just a little muddy, the melting snow has filled the streams.

Of course a rock-skipping demonstration was in order.

Just being able to spend a day outside was rejuvenating.

And the snowdrops were not only peeking out but were standing tall!
