The edge of spring



I really enjoy this time between winter and spring, when the seasons collide. There's still ice thawing but there's also plants and vegetation. From bare branches, the birds seem to be chirping louder than ever. I'm starting to daydream of planting a little bit of greenery in the backyard. Soon!

  2. Thanks Sarah. It's funny we were just talking yesterday about how the seasons really seem to change overnight around here. One day it was Fall and then all of a sudden...18 inches of snow! We thought that we were just having a warm spell at the end of Winter but nope, it's really Spring!
