March First

Though it has been snowing and blowing since dawn, the day is brighter with the sun closer, even if we are barely into the 20's, there is an air of hope, as the birds sing early on fighting for the seed thrown out.  A repeat of last Sunday's storm that lies in our yards and streets, now sculpted into frozen waves upon our domestic shores.  19 days until the equinox now and the days are stretching perceptibly longer and later to raise winter weary spirits a bit, to hope for release to warmth once again.
