The last lonely pile of snow finally melted.  I saw it just last week lurking in the woods by our parking lot.  Several days of rain played a major role in bringing the first hint of spring.  A few brave daffodils and crocuses are blooming and the weather pronosticators are promising temps in the 50's.  We've been lied to before so I'm not making any fair weather plans just yet.  In fact, my long awaited Bahama cruise begins on Monday and I have the good fortune to fly out of the cold and dampness in 3 days.  When I get back from 85 degree weather, the people here will be bragging about the one day of sunshine they had that produced 61 degrees.  Wow!!   But within the confines of MicroWorld, it's always 80 plus degrees.  The seasons are merely pictures we look at through our windows, as one day flows into the next on our weekly schedule of samesness.
