Okay, I know it's not much to look at, these crowning crocuses, but to me they are a thing of beauty. You must realize also that the narrow margin of green grass that was visible yesterday is now nearly 100 ft. wide around my little house in the country. Water is running down my gravel driveway. Ice is now mainly only a memory. The warm air and rain are making quick work of many feet of snow; our back yard and the sloping garden at the side of the house have only perhaps one foot of snow left.
You're right, there will be more snow to come this late winter. Perhaps two more storms, or maybe even three. And then there will be snow squalls, flurries, and then finally, the heat of spring that brings out the bugs and mud season.
But, the thaw is upon us today and we are happy. I hope that you find some measure of happiness today too :)
