It crept in overnight and here it is! Despite the cold wind and mid 40's temp, it's a beautiful spring day now...
I looked up to see the front oak has finally shed the old and put on the new. You know, those wonderful fall leaves that cling to the branches of oak trees through the long winter regardless of the wind, snow, and ice. It happened today and it is a beautiful-rainy, windy, is it still winter-full of growth and newness SPRING day! Now I start watching for the swallows to return.
