The big thaw?

Every time this winter looks like it is finished it just comes back to give us more of the same – just the other day we had yet another short snow-fall. Most of the snow that is lying on the ground, however, has been here since before New Year’s. Given the few above zero days we’ve had it is now looking pitted and ugly, the omnipresent puddles all freezing overnight and turning into ice just in time to slip up those heading to work in the morning. Still, it is starting to look like the snow won’t be around for much longer (kind of like Bush). A few more days and it seems like it will be time to start the spring cleaning in the garden. Among other things my daughter will have more opportunities to walk about outside and get into all sorts of trouble. I look forward to it.
