It’s still a brisk 30-something degrees outside, but the bright afternoon sun put me in the mood for spring. It’s misleading when you see how bright and sunny these pictures are, but make no mistake–it’s still quite cold!

As if I wasn’t already in the mood for that…

Plus, there’s only a tiny strip of snow left in the backyard!

Of course, that snow happens to be in the spot we want to plant the garden, so that’s not ideal…but I’m still counting it as a small victory in the grass versus snow contest.

There’s a few patches of snow left in the field behind our house, too.

The front yard still has a lot more snow, with the piles where we shoveled the driveway still very visible, although also shrinking.

Give me a snow update where you are! I’ve heard we’re in for more rain, which is fine, but also maybe even snow! I’m crossing my fingers that’s not true, and I think we’ll escape it. But I did wake up to frost this morning, and my family has always said that as long as there’s snow on the ground, it will snow again, so we’ll just have to see!
