Early Signs of Spring














Spring is almost here in the part of Canada where I live.














Snow is melting...














Squirrels are already digging holes in the grass (I'm not sure why...)














Pine cones litter the lawn. When the ground is less mushy, it will be time to rake...














I'm always amazed at how green some plants are, even as they emerge from the ice and snow.














There is lots of work ahead: raking up pine cones, pine needles, dead grass and garbage that has accumulated under the snow. But, in spite of all the work ahead, this time of year is, for me, a time of hope and joy. It's refreshing to spend time outdoors again!
