Is It Spring?

I know that simply by asking that question I am doomed to make the snow come back. We are experiencing a very early thaw here. Bright clear sunny days, temperatures above freezing, and tiny green bulbs beginning to poke up through the garden beds.
I was sad the snow went because my snowshoes are still hanging by the door in hopes of a good snowfall, but today I spend the whole day outside gardening. Now I'm hoping this weather just keeps up.
Last spring we had cold wet weather all the way to the end of April. I remember because I didn't get a chance to spring clean in my own yard before I had to go to work and clean up other gardens. I played catch up with myself all summer. This year the fruit trees are already pruned, and today I picked up garbage that has blowing in from somewhere. I also started raking out the beds and turned the compost pile, and fixed the door on the garden shed where the wind blew it off the hinges. Ironically I am going back to work late this year, because last spring was so crappy. I may have everything at home done and dusted before April.
