Spring, Wherefore Art Thou?


The robins have returned, but are resorting to berries for food as we've still got feet of snow blanketing the ground. We're five days into calendar spring and the temperatures remain well below normal and the snow cover well above. Even my normally determinedly positive outlook has taken a beating and I shake my mental fist at the sky every single day.

The sugar makers have started late, and the temperatures aren't letting the sap run. We're forecast for a big blizzard this week. And meteorologists predict big spring melts as heavy rain will eventually melt off this mass of snow in an eye-blink.

I'm just doing my best to get through the days. Like these poor robins.
