drip…drip…drip…
It is sunny and warm today, a balmy 46 degrees to be exact. My office window is open. The sky is blue, and the messy snow and ice of just one week ago are disappearing drip by drip by drip.
Last night I fell asleep to the sound of drip after drip after drip plummeting from our second story eaves onto the hardened ground below. It was like a loud, leaky faucet. Today, I’ve gotten dripped on repeatedly as every gutter and rooftop deposits a steady steam of melting snow onto the soaked sidewalks. Puddles abound on the roadways. Birds are chirping. It’s a sure sign that spring is just around the corner, just as Phil the Groundhog predicted!
If a nasty storm like that is what it takes to get an early Spring, I’m all for it! Thanks as always for your postings… and keep an eye on that trout stream with all this melting snow.
