That stretch of grass by his back door
had been all white the day before;
those ivy beds out near the gate
were still in snow at half past eight;
though Spring herself he had not seen,
he spied her footprints – they were green.

The temp reading over 50* at the house, 52 to be exact, 43* on the S-R blog and 50* on the Weatherbug. Snow slowly receding off the back and front yards. Still deep where it had drifted. And mostly melted now off the roof. Hope by the end of the day, we don’t have much of that crusted white stuff left.

I saw a hint of GREEN today on my drive to work! It was along the Westbound on ramp at Stateline….. the old rest area and surrounding grassy areas had just bit of green showing through. It made me smile all the way into the Valley!

The Bard always has it right. Maybe someday, I look forward to the meeting, but of course, I would never tell.
