I know it's a little early for this, but...

We really haven't had that much to complain about this winter (so far). I think I've had to clean my car off 3 or 4 times, and I know I've only shoveled the walkway once. (Josh has probably done it 3 times.) We just haven't had a lot of snow. I am wondering if we will get away with it, or if we'll be pounded in February/March. You never can tell.


Anyway, spring is only 54 days away, if I remember the first day of spring correctly (March 21?), and I am looking forward to the daffodils and tulips that sprung out of the soil to my pleasant surprise last year. It was kind of fun to watch the yard blossom, as I had no idea what had been planted! This year the flowers won't be a surprise, but on the other hand, I can look forward to them. And maybe this will be the year we re-landscape the front of the house... at least rearrange some of the bushes that have come to grow on top of each other. Welcome, warmer weather, sunnier days, prettier yards!
