Hello Spring!

If we had to judge by the weather, no one would believe that spring arrived today. It was cold today, the wind blew hard and frosty, there was some sun and blue sky (thank goodness) but there was also grey cloud and snow flurries.  The snowbanks are still around, we're still bundled up in our bulky winter coats, scarves and mitts.

But according to the calendar, today's the day. Spring arrived at 7:20 a.m. this morning and as far as I'm concerned, it's all good from here, even if it still feels like winter for the next few weeks (or so the forecasters are predicting.  I choose to believe they'll be wrong about that, like they usually are.)

No matter what the temperature is outside, I still want to say  "Hello Spring! Welcome back!
