Could it be...?

Birds outside are very active and very chatty today.  This is only the second (maybe third) time since November when I have been made aware of the silly little things all winter.

Hey, I can even see the top of the wheelbarrow and more of the shovel that were forgotten in the yard just before the snow and the temperature began to fall, and fall, and fall, and fall,
and fall,

and fall,


and fall,


and fall,



and fall,




and fall,





and fall,






and f-a-l-l.

Uh, I think you get the picture.

Could it be that spring is just around this current frigid polar vortex corner?
