I'll look more favorably towards thinking it is Spring if we can just go a full week without it snowing. Temperature rising above 45F, too, would be a nice touch. I still have mounds of blackened snow next to the deck (foot of the driveway) and at the head of the driveway, but it's no longer blocking my view of the road.

Maple sugaring is well under way, but it's not TRULY Spring, of course, until I see the first snowy egret...yard sale...dog, ears flapping, hanging out of a car or pickup truck window...bare knees on letter carriers. Bare knees on joggers have been sighted, but they never really went away. (Joggers are..."different".)
