is it spring yet?

Today I walked with Abbey and John along our favorite path. I was determined to find some evidence of spring. We still have snow on the ground and there are no signs at our house or in our garden so I went hunting for some.

The weather is mild and there were plenty of little black gnats that make small tornadoes and fly into noses, eyes or mouths. Terrible little insects.

With camera in tow and all set to get some macro shots of budding flowers and trees, we walked several blocks before I saw anything. The first thing I noticed was snow, seriously. Snow. There is less of it now but still, I wanted to see green and yellow and purples.

Finally, near the end of our walk, spring appeared - a host of tiny yellow crocus in bloom. We'll settle for this.
