Saying Goodbye to Snow

Here's Gracie T-t saying her farewell to the snow.
It was more wet and heavy than anything. And it has been melting away quite well. I even spotted a clump of daffodillls about and inch above the soil. This is how the timing of spring will be here for us.
Everything that my UK friends have been blipping for a month or more I will just begin with now.
I saw the sap (for maple syrup_ truck come by today collecting from the buckets and binds hooked to the tree.
If we stop getting below 32ºF temperatures at night then the trees will begin using their sap to make their leaves and that will be the end of the maple sugaring collection for this year. There are blips in this Journal from a year ago showing the process.
So, end of April Fool's Day and onto spring!!
