First Signs of Spring... IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!

Yesterday, I was helping a family get their house ready to put on the market. I had 2 hours to choose the priorities and make it all happen. It's amazing what can happen when you focus and zero in on a task. One of the final chores on the list was the view from the family room to the back yard. Now remember, it's mid March in Rochester, NY. It's still brown and wet and cold and just generally, blah. But in this case, I was convinced we could do a lot in the short time we had. With 4 able bodied kids and 4 frazzled adults... half an hour produced a little fun, a little exercise, and... you guessed it... the first signs of Spring under the wet leaves. Little tiny sprouts coming out of the ground. For a quick minute, we all stood around and smiled quietly knowing the cold war of winter was coming to an end. (FYI: Rochester recorded 120 inches of snow this winter.)
