Moving Forward

We spent our first official spring weekend doing some spring cleaning of the plant beds around the house. And mother nature actually cooperated, with temp's going up into the 50's. Even with the warmer weather, we would still unearth ice and snow along with the rest of the debris. But, with blistered and frostbitten fingers, it was still satisfying. There are patches of ice and snow in some of the shady areas around the yard, but there are also signs of spring popping up.

Even our fish have reappeared from the thick layer of ice that has covered them for the past few months. It's hard to believe that they were alive under there, and the girls were so excited to see their orange shapes begin to appear! I was still skeptical until those orange shapes actually started moving, but even the little baby fish survived.

Realistically, we probably have more cold days ahead of us, but I think it's safe to say that the bulk of our winter weather is behind us. And not a moment too soon. With our head count the same as when we started, I guess you can say, All's well that ends well!
