Spring, While Not Yet Sprung, Is In the Wings

To our East Coast friends, and those who are still thigh-deep in winter weather, here is a harbinger of the spring that is sure to come, photographed on my daily rounds with the puppies yesterday.

Obviously I'm knocking on wood as I say this, hoping the spirits don't decide to dump a big ol' load o' winter on us in spite.

Stay safe, stay warm!
