Spring, Is, ALMOST, In The Air...

     Can you believe it...we're in for ANOTHER snowstorm, this one, due, Saturday into Sunday, hot on the heels of yesterday's, most, recent, snow/rain MESS! What a Winter it has been, huh? The Season is, actually, acting, as Winters that I recall, from my childhood, when, multiple, snow-events, were commonplace. Personally, I don't mind, so much, especially, once the roadways are cleared. However, I don't do much shoveling around here, and, all the snow makes it 'challenging' to walk about, while walking the pooch. One, great, aspect of a Winter, bringing large amounts of snow, is that this will assist with the flora, in the Springtime. My Step-Dad, Arpad, was a Master-Gardner, and, always, regaled of the, terrific, benefit, a 'hard' Winter would create, come Springtime, for the fruit bearing trees. He was right on target, about that, as I can recall, several Springs ago, after a, very, snowy, Winter, getting flowers and fruit on an apple tree that had never bore fruit, prior. Very interesting...Anyhoo, although, not, such, a big fan of the 'white-stuff', I can tolerate it's presence. First, because there ain't a thing I can do about it, and, second, because it's gonna make for a beautiful, bounteous, Spring, for which, I can't wait!!! Although, I choose to live 'one day at a time', it's, a bit, more pleasant when it's 70 degrees and sunny. Hang in there...we're ALMOST there! Just Sayin'...
