First signs of Spring

Snowdrop down, crocus up

Head held down, and head up

Down to Mother Earth

And up to Father Sun

Winter is over, and Spring has begun.

- Candy Verney

I found a tiny snowdrop blooming in the cold.

I'll share with you a secret, the little flower told.

Though Winter still is here, he hasn't long to stay

I came across to tell you, that Spring is on it's way!

-Christina T. Owen

Winter is stil very much a fact. It is raining bitter cold. We were at a playground today, the little ones have been asking for so long to go, so I decided to try and see if we could find the swings. The snow had melted enough to barely swing above ground. It was pounding rain, and foggy. But Lea loves to swing, and we found some buried tractors and shovels where the sandbox used to be, so Noa was set for an hour. So nice to be back to that.
