Ah! A Breath of Spring...and Gardening Seems Closer

Ah! A breath of spring this morning when I woke up to 44 degree F. temperatures. Such a contrast to the near zero degrees of the past few mornings.

Now I can begin to contemplate spring and gardening as the sun's warmth melts the snow and sends rivulets of water making inroads on the icy driveway.

Even the birds have their spring voices in tune. Don't you notice that the chickadees have a slightly different, cheerier song as spring approaches?

We'll begin looking for buds swelling on the trees and look for springs of grass and greenery as soon as bare patches of ground appear.

Ah! Spring! What a wonderful reawakening after our long winter...even though we may get a bit more snow before the weather truly stays warm in New Hampshire.
