signs of spring

could it be!?
is spring
really
nearly
here?

i ran out this morning to run some errands
and returned to these popping up in my backyard
this afternoon!



of course,
the rest of my yard is a hot mess
after a long winter of abuse.

but the to-do list actually has a smile on my face:
time. outside.
ahhhhhhh.
...
for the record, this post was not meant to torment my sister
who just received 24" of snow up in burlington, vt!
can.you.imagine?!
no.
