Still Waiting for Spring

There are snatches of spring weather here these days.  The weather is  warmer, the sun is out.  Then the cold winds start up and we’re bundled up in three and four layers of clothes again.   I don’t know why our minds insist that because the calendar says it should be spring that the weather outside should comply.

The pathways still look cold and trees are still dried up, brown and leafless.  A few wrinkled leaves cling to branches.

And yet, there’s signs that the plants are slowly waking up.  Fooled, no doubt, by these snatches of warm weather that passes through.

I just hope we don’t get hit with an unexpected blast of frost after the plants bloom.  They’ve been fooled enough times by Mother Nature.
