Celebrating Spring

 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle (dove) is heard in our land;

Technically Winter is over and Spring IS here, but in Northern Indiana we are waiting for the rains to come because the snows are not over.  The only flowers that appear are from the florist.  

I did see a Robin or two this past week and wondered why on earth they were here as they tried to dig through the snow for a few morsels.

The Goldfinches are still wearing olive drab, but I'm sure they will brighten up in a few weeks.

But even though nice Spring weather is only a hope and a promise...

We do our best to celebrate the end of a long, rough winter anyway.
