A hipstamatic shot from my iPhone during yesterday morning’s walk shows large swaths of grass reappearing after months of being blanketed under snow. Our snow usually melts off in a few days around here but not this year. I don’t think I’ve had a snow-free lawn since before I left for the Gulf Coast in early December. The bitterly cold temps are losing their grip now and we’re seeing that it may hit 70F on Thursday. Spring may not be here, but it’s on the way.
