Wham, bam, thank you ma'am- winter came and went in a hurry this year. I took this picture last week, before the string of 60 degree days made short work of what little winter we had. Sleds and well worn snow are giving way to spring, copious amounts of mud and tender green shoots and buds. I am hoping to find all the boots and shoes George brought outside in the past five months but neglected to bring back....his idea of productivity and mine are startlingly different at times!
