I Think It's Coming...
 They say a picture says a thousand words! And they are right. A friend of mine on Facebook shared this photo from Inna Official's page. I just loved it. For me it shows that Spring is peeking out. It also shows me all the hope and excitement that I know is just beyond the Winter curtain. I just know that soon my daffodils will be poking up through the ground as will my asparagus! Last week we saw a major snowstorm blanket our area which was followed by this week's warmer temperatures that melted that snow almost as fast as it arrived. Now we have a slushy muddy mess that the March winds will be sure to dry out. I for one, can't wait for my husband to get outside and start in on the garden and other projects around our house. Actually, I know he's ready since both our cars got washed last Saturday! I also shared this photo on our facebook page and would love to hear what it says to you.
