Spring Wood

Heading to work each morning, I pass this stretch of trees and brook. Yes, one recent morning it was snowing. Snowing? Snowing! Listen, I want to hear the peepers in the evenings, see green-back frogs plopping off pond banks, and start catching polliwogs in old mayonnaise jars. Well, at least I'm thinking about that last one. I've had with winter! I want to see our backyard forsythia bush on yellow fire, as soon as possible. I think I got spoiled by our early spring in 2010. Gosh! Gee whiz! I hate March!

On a much more enjoyable topic-- My mother-in-law turns 90 today! Happy Birthday Anna (Babka)!

    Spring will rush up on us so quickly it will take our breath away. Just wait a moment. You'll see.

    It snowed here last night. Seriously. But, not as much as in this photo. A most happy birthday to Anna. 90 is quite a landmark birthday.

    BIrd, I don't think I"Ve ever taken the time to tell you how much I love your wonderful text each day. I usually comment on your great photos but your wondrous words are what make me stop short and wish I had the talent to say what I really want to. Bravo my friend. Keep on keeping on!

    Gorgeous photo! Sorry your spring is so late, I'm ashamed to say we're in the 80's here. Happy birthday to your mother-in-law!
