Four days ago, I was taking photos of flowers popping up from the leaf litter in neighborhood yards. I didn’t believe it was too good to be true, because there it was, right in front of me, but I was keenly aware we would in all likelihood have to suffer through at least one more heavy snowfall, because it’s March and this is Wisconsin.

I was kind of hoping, just a little bit, we wouldn’t backslide into winter this soon, though.
