spring in february......

it's been so incredibly nice out this past week - today it's just about 60 degrees!.......of course it's starting to get a little cloudy and might rain, but still take that over the 20 degree days of recent weeks past......the 5ft piles of snow have dwindled to a mere 3ft and i can see patches of grass and mud in places......i didn't think we'd ever see the snow drifts go away - and they haven't yet, but i'm convinced by july they'll be gone!.......of course the next "wintry mix" storm is supposed to be monday and the temps for the next 10 days aren't supposed to get above the 30s, but i'm grateful for a week-long respite from the winter.......we can make it through the last few weeks of winter!.......come on spring!......
