Too Early for Spring Fever?

The days are getting longer!!
Even tho' it snowed this morning (barely)--and it was beautiful--
the afternoon sun was so welcome.
Like a friend I haven't seen in a while.

So-- I'm ready for Spring...I'm ready for flower beds, 
the rich aroma of the warming soil, 
the garden, the orchard....




Reminder to myself:  it's just coming up on Groundhog Day...but I'm hoping for
Spring, just around the corner.

Here's one of my favorite poetic lines (it's also a line in one of my all-time favorite movies-Groundhog Day):

And Winter slumbering in the open air,
Wears on his smiling face, a dream of Spring!
                                                                       Samuel Taylor Coleridge
                                                                       (and Phil)
