Spring is sprung!

Wow! It has been one long, snowy winter. Just look at the pile of snow below our deck. Note the open section of the railing where I can just push my shovel loads off the deck. That pile has shrunk quite a bit lately, so you can just imagine.

And today, which is April Fool's Day,  the temps were near 60 degrees and the air had  an unmistakable hint of spring in it. Buio was the first to notice it...

Veronique ventured outside and saw it first: a patch of grass peeking through the snow!

Buio was just as psyched as we were.

Spring was in the air!.

Just look at the red bark on our wild cherry trees....

The frozen ground began to give up its vapors....

Rising higher and higher, toward the sun...

And then it happened. The most amazing sunset. It made me dream of becoming a landscape painter!
