Spring Snow 2019

When I raised the window shade a few mornings ago, I was delighted. I laughed out loud and said, “Are you kidding?!” On the first day of spring, our forest had three inches of fresh, beautiful snow. It did not look like spring, but I knew it had to be if only because a woodpecker had announced it earlier that morning by drilling into the side of our house. I cannot think of a better way for the arrival of spring to be heralded.
