The Sun Shineth

After all the cold, dreary dampness we have been subjected to (but nowhere near as bad as other areas) we have sunshine today, and look for a bit more warmth this afternoon. There are signs of life in the yard, for which I am very thankful.

It's hard to think of things I should be doing when the weather draws me outside. I poke dead leaves away from the crocuses and daffodils that are peaking through the ground, some of the earlier ones already showing buds. I pick up so many fallen twigs and branches that I joke the nickname "Fribble" means silly old woman who picks up twigs.

We will have about three or four more weeks of winter, barring a blizzard the day before my flight to California. I don't care if is rains or snows (lightly). Just give me those spring flowers and I'll be happy.
