The daffodils are in full bloom and the three and a half inches of rain we got over Monday and Tuesday have given the grass a jolt, and everything else. The forsythia is blooming which means I should be planting potatoes, but it is cold outside. It is snowing outside! Not a lot, but enough to keep me by the fireside.

I should have known it wasn’t spring quite yet. We don’t have a single dandelion in the lawn. It almost resembles fine turf. From a distance.
