Spring arrived today!

Well at least in my mind it did. As I waited outside for my son to arrive home on the school bus, I wandered around the driveway, (what little there is of it, considering the amount of snow), and happened upon a small patch of driveway below the ice and snow.
Every year I seem to go through this ritual of seeking signs and evidence that the earth actually exists beneath all that cold white stuff.
While the patch of ground I saw is no larger than the size of, perhaps a toilet seat, it was enough to make this gardener smile.
I guess it's true what my mom always used to say..."small things amuse small minds" ; )
