First Day of Spring...

It's there beneath the earth...  Spring awaits.  I think it was purely ready to bound out of the ground and bloom profusely, and then it heard the forecast for more snow this weekend, so it decided to lie asleep a few more days...  But it cannot mask itself from the pure beauty of the air.  Especially in the morning pinks of clouds, dawn, and promise...  It's time to plant and dream and begin to throw off the comfortable dormancy of a winter too long, too cold, and too brutal.  Even this snow girl has had enough of winter for one year.
