It’s that moment that comes as soon as you can walk around the yard without sinking into mud - or sloshing a puddle of rainwater.

That first moment arriving to offer you the joy of stepping outside - wrapped up in a coat and wool cap - but looking upward to allow the warm sunshine to soak your face.

That first glance that catches your attention enough to make you look twice - into the air - and notice several kinds of bugs flying in the air.

It’s too early to work in the dirt.

But if you take the time to walk around and pay close attention - Signs of a waking Spring season begin to take over once Mother Nature opens that gate.

And still - more days and nights of freezing temps are bound to come.


However - one can walk around and take in these moments.  They are - the best vitamin one can consume - for strength and patience to hang in there.

Just a little bit longer.

Wow, spring really is coming to your neck of the woods! It's nice here, but the buds and leaves aren't showing their faces yet.
