what a difference a zero makes!

when we woke up yesterday, the temperature was 4 degrees.
this afternoon it has risen to 40!
at long last,
the winter is loosening her grip on us.
the snow is receding from the edges...
of roads, fields and our garden boxes.
soon it will be time to tidy up the place,
including branches that batman pruned
from our apple trees last month.

rubber boots, gardening gloves and maybe a sweatshirt.
oh, what a delightful day that will be!

    (And I was so excited to add my name into your drawing that I didn't comment on your gorgeous new header! Love it!).
