Thanks Rajesh for the kind words about the photos.

Trout fisherman are hearty souls. I’ve seen them working in pretty miserable conditions. Makes riding a scooter in the cold seem pretty tame.

During those times I remind myself that it’s great to be alive…

Jim,

Being late to respond to comments but it has allowed the weather to temper a bit. Wet and chilly forecast up your way — much the same as us. Before long things will turn green and coats will be a dim memory…

Lots of signs of spring. We have crocuses pushing up through the winter detritis — that indicates spring. And the dogs are tearing up the wet, dormant turf in the yard, another springtime event.

And as you say, robins….

It’s over. Finally. Sort off. Now just some cold and wet to put up with until the hot and miserable arrives…

Yep, one more to go. There are always 3 snows after the robins come back north. Some years you have to stretch the definition a bit to ‘those 3 flakes that just fell’ and others it’s a bit more obvious.
Me? I call winter over after the trout fishermen get snowed on during opening day.
