It's Melting

We sure have had quite our share of snow this season.  

Snow falling down last week

At first, newly fallen snow is beautiful, fresh, clean, refreshing even.  The kids sure have enjoyed it this year!  After awhile, the snow takes on a gray cast from wayward travelers passing by and just gets old.

I am looking forward to spring, when all of the snow has melted away and first signs of emerging plant life appear.

Today air temperatures were getting warm enough to help with melting some of the ice and snow from last week's storm.  Snow is just so much more enjoyable when ice is not included, not to mention it does melt a lot quicker.  I tried to help it along its way, by using a metal spade to break ice chunks at least 3/4" thick from our driveway.  I will be so happy when the current mess is gone.

So to wrap it up.  Please Spring, put a spring in your step and arrive sooner than later.
