I spy...robins and grass!

I was thrilled to spot several robins hopping around in the snow today. That means spring is really on the way! I also spotted the tops of some blades of grass in the backyard today. It won't be long until we actually have a lawn again. It's really strange, but as I have watched the snow retreat from the deck/yard this week, I have almost become nostalgic--like watching a friend move away. Don't get me wrong, I haven't befriended and fallen in love with the snow, I just think it has been such a constant companion for the last several months that it's different to think about life without it. Sigh... ;o)
