“No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.” ~ Hal Borland
Garden benches still buried in snow, ski trails freshly groomed, robins lying in wait somewhere — it is Spring in northern Minnesota!

Your icicle picture is truly beautiful. It really captures all this melting, melting going on. It’s 52 degrees here right now! What is it in your neck of the woods, Kat? Wishing you a Happy Easter weekend…

I love the picture of the ice spears at the end! We thought we had started spring last week, but then we got a snow storm. Oh well, it will get here eventually.

I think spring is creeping into the forefront here in the Pacific Northwest…unless like me, she decides it’s still too cool-ish to venture forth without a coat and hat and gloves and scarf and boots… 😦

We are getting there! I think it will take multiple freeze-thaw cycles given the snow that remains.

I sure hope so Kat. It has been a long winter for us, I think mainly because we have been on and off sick since December. I am so ready for Spring. !!!

Indy will shut down with that! At least you know it will not last long.
