springing

This morning I was delighted to wake up soon after sunrise to the delightful sound of birds singing—a song I don't notice the lack of in the winter, but sure do notice when it returns in the spring! Despite some good March snowstorms spring is well on its way. Even as more snow fell yesterday morning, the snow on the ground was melting away; another inch or two has vanished already today. It's not warm outside, particularly—but warm enough to see us playing and working outside before lunch (I finished pruning and clearing out the raspberries). And the plants are all busy doing their thing!
