Today wasn't as nice as the last couple of days, but still the snow is melting and signs of real spring are everywhere.  We had a flock of robins visit today - the first we've seen.  They seemed to arrive with the sun late this afternoon.  

We had brief but quite heavy rain late last night, and this morning there was dense fog.  It felt like misty rain, but perhaps it was just the fog.  We have large patches of bare ground showing up, and I'm sure the ice is melting, as well.  It will be good to see open water.

We know folks are celebrating Easter this week, and that is kind of the icing on the cake of springtime.  Happy Easter, everyone.
