Searching for Spring

Is this really the same crazy lady who actually wanted snow?...

...you might be asking yourself.

You remember...

...that one who got so excited when 2 inches of the white stuff fell from the sky?

She was the one who kept asking "where's mine?"...

...while most of the rest of the country was drowning in a sea of white...

...and some unfortunately still are.

Yes....the crazy person is/was me.

A couple of weeks ago, we were blessed to get about 8 inches of lovely, white, fluffy snow.

I was able to make the snow cream I wanted to make.

I got to enjoy my little dogs running through it and shivering to get back inside.

I saw some gorgeous red birds standing out like sore thumbs against the vibrant white backdrop.

I was even blessed to be able to capture a perfectly shaped snow flake...

...with my dinky little point & shoot's lens.

So...now, I'm done with winter.

And this is reason why.

I saw these growing at the base of my mailbox a couple of days ago.

That's all it took for me.

One look at these tiny blue beauties and I am ready for spring!

I wasn't sure what they were called so I googled "tiny blue wildflower"...
...and it was first picture that popped up!

Persian Speedwell (Veronica persica) is their horticultural name...
...and it seems they are sometimes called "Baby Blue Eyes".

So, Old Man Winter, you can moooove on over 'cause spring is movin' in!

So, I'll be out and about...searching for spring.
Wanna join me?
